Kentucky Rivals - Basketball

Like teams we hate the most?

1) Louisville
2) Duke
3) Kansas
4) North Carolina
5) Tennessee
6) Evansville

So, KY fans... How long has it been since AR would have been considered a top 5 rival?

Would you like that to happen again?


and don't say... "Never"

1) Louisville
2) Duke
3) UNC
4) Whatever SEC team is vying for national prominence this decade.
5) Evansville

In the SEC..I'd guess Tennessee, Florida , Alabama in that order based on winning pct.. All 3 have a better winning pct against KY than Arkansas

UofL

then schools who have been historically competitive with UK

UNC
Duke
Kansas

Edit: and Evansville

Been a while. That kinda died down when Nolan got pushed out. Hope Mus can bring it back though.

I hate to say it because you said not to but I never have considered Arkansas a rival. But that’s because I was a fan of the program after it joined the SEC. It was a blast having another school consistently dedicated to basketball success and the players in that era were very fun to watch. So when I say never, it’s actually out of respect.

Also, as for Arkansas going back to old form, I would very much like it. The sooner the better.

Louisville has to be number one. Where does indiana fall into it?

I included Indiana, but we don't play them anymore, so I think that is why they are being left off by most.

I mean, the OP asked for a Top 5 but not exclusive to the SEC. As often as we’ve played teams like UNC, Duke, Kansas, and Louisville in the OOC, and often for something bigger than an SEC title, it makes sense that they dominate those lists.
