Now that Louisville’s Russ Smith has decided to stay in college, Jeff Goodman thinks the Kentucky-Louisville will finally return to an intense rivalry.
I guess he means on the floor, because between the fanbases it is alway intense.
Goodman breaks down the matchup between the Cards and Cats:
Finally, we’ve got what we wanted. Kentucky vs. Louisville. The top two teams in the land. That’s the way it’ll likely begin the season — and it could well be the way it ends at Cowboys Stadium on April 7, 2014.
Now it could certainly change if Kentucky does land Wiggins, but at this moment, there’s comparable talent.
Andrew Harrison or Chris Jones? I’ll give Harrison the edge, but not by much.
Aaron Harrison or Russdiculous? I’ll take Smith in that one.
The duo of Poythress and freshman James Young against the twosome of Hancock and Blackshear? It’s close, but I’ll go with the Cards wings.
Julius Randle and Wiltjer vs. Behanan? Not a no-brainer, but I’ll take Kentucky in that one.
Cauley-Stein, Johnson and fellow frosh Marcus Lee against Harrell, Stephan Van Treese, Zach Price and Mangok Mathiang. Again, I’ll take the Cats in this one.
Coaching? Calipari vs. Pitino. I’ll go with Louisville.
