July 3, 200917 yr Duke vs. UNC has to be number one. UT vs. UK isn't even on the radar, much like MSU vs. Purdue.
July 3, 200917 yr Duke vs. UNC has to be number one. UT vs. UK isn't even on the radar, much like MSU vs. Purdue. There's Pat Forde for ya.
July 3, 200917 yr I agree. Duke UNC is #1. I would also think the UK UNC would be bigger than the UK UT. I don't even think UT vs UK is that big at all.
July 3, 200917 yr Heck, a fairly sizeable percentage of UK fans think that Duke is the #1 rival of the Cats. What was that percentage again; I keep forgetting.
July 3, 200917 yr 1. UNC vs. Duke 2. Probably UK-UL. 3. Doesn't matter. I agree. Pat Forde is an idiot to have UK- Tennessee ahead of Duke UNC. There is no bigger rivalry than Duke- UNC.
July 3, 200917 yr I agree. Pat Forde is an idiot to have UK- Tennessee ahead of Duke UNC. There is no bigger rivalry than Duke- UNC. Agreed
July 3, 200917 yr I agree. Pat Forde is an idiot to have UK- Tennessee ahead of Duke UNC. There is no bigger rivalry than Duke- UNC. I disagree. The only reason its such a "huge" rivalry is that ESPN shows it on 8 different channels at the same time. IT is a great rivalry, but it is not greater then UK-UL...The football part of things here in the UK-UL rivalry put it over the top of the Duke-UNC rivalry. Not to mention they play eachother 3 times a year. There is so much more at stake for the State of Kentucky when UK and UL play that one game of basketball then there is for the state of North Carolina.
July 3, 200917 yr And... I think perhaps he meant this season. Although it could be next year, or whatever. But the point is all the hype that Calipari has brought. The perceived rivalry with Pitino. And Calipari and Pearl butting heads in Tennessee. Duke will most likely be down next season, and Carolina won't be nearly as immortal.

I agree, Duke v UNC was the game to watch four or five years ago. It has lost a lot of its luster to me. I used to make it a point to watch that game twice a tear, but now I could care less.

As for the rest of the nation and most of the bluegrass, they understand that UNC/Duke is the top college basketball rivalry.
