In your opinion, is UK vs Indiana still a "big" basketball rivalry?

I wish it still was, but I can't say it is. I really can't say it's a "rivalry" at all. It doesn't help that I'm 24 and Indiana has been mostly mediocre for almost as long as I can remember. Or at least since I've been closely following sports.

Indiana hasn't been relevant in years. The last time was probably when they played for the national title in 2002.

Like the map shows, in IU fans' minds it is

About as much as UK-Ark. That is to say, not at all.

That looks about right with the handful of Hoosier fans talking shite and no one else except some media looking for filler giving a shite.
ETA: Fav "recent" IU vs. UK moment = Mike Davis losing his mind and getting ejected mid court. Can't believe that was 10 years ago.

No. It might be again in a few years though. Crean has seemingly righted the ship at Indiana.

It was a pretty good rivalry during Knight's years, especially when we weren't playing in-state rival Louisville. It's just been awhile.

Was it a rivalry from 1986 to 1990? Indiana used to dominate UK.

I think it is. Kentucky and Indiana are two of the most storied basketball programs in the history of the game.

I think Crean has them on the road back. Watched them play NC State (with Gotfried
) and was very impressed with Zeller. I thought he was every bit as good if not better than his heralded UNC bro.Posted on 12/10/11 at 7:26 pm to Tiger Ugly
Bump!!

When coach Hall had to stop his assistant from kicking Bobby Knights arse.
