I respectfully disagree. Other than Ohio State/Xichigan football, I feel like this could be argued as 1A or 1B

It’s not as important as the biggest college football rivalries, but it’s the biggest rivalry in college basketball.

In this region maybe, but not nationally in my opinion.

It may seem bigger because ESPN pumps it up so much and the UK Louisville rivalry is always played on CBS

No bc Louisville isn’t on the same tier as UK, UNC, and Duke.

You have a really good point. Haven’t thought about it like that. I thought the UK/Indiana rivalry was a great rivalry back in the day when they split the RCA dome in half with red in one side, blue on the other
