Why aren't we playing Kentucky?

If this a made for tv challenge why not have the best matchup? Is it because we were on the road last time we did this?

We could be seeing 3 vs 1, thanks ESPN

It's not ESPN. It's the mentally handicapped Big LEast. They rotate every sh@t team we have into this. It's a challenge, it should be our best versus their best. Instead we throw in our 4 worst teams from last year. St Johns, DePaul, Providence, and Rutgers.

that was one brutal half of basketball... i mean ST Johns is awful

Is it really the big east? Do we have some say? When we get to the ACC, hopefully they wil. still be having the ACC big east challenge and we will get OSU

I would really loved for us to have been playing Kentucky instead of Florida. Nothing against Florida, but we just played them, if we're going to go out-of-conference for these things I would rather it was a team we haven't seen in a bit.

those stupid bastards run the same thing over and over again... God I wish Rupp arena would get hit with a meteor right now. Get rid of calipari and dickie v. Everyone else is collateral damage.

Exactly. We've seen a ton of Florida lately. I'd rather see us put a hurt on UK (which I really think we would). Florida's a team that makes me more nervous.

oh yea... and burr too... THE TRIFECTA BABY!

Haha... That's ok. When we move to the ACC we will probably get matched up Michigan State. Partly because the finesse ACC teams won't want to play them. Partly because it seems like, aside from Florida, that was the other OOC team we would always be playing against.

 

[Sufanatic02]

Lately the ACC can chalk michigan state in as a win.

When the Big East / SEC challenge was announced, everyone looked forward to the day when we would play Kentucky. But with our move to the ACC, it looks like that isn't gonna happen...

Love to play them...and bring out the awesome blue unis...

If the revenue generated by the Big East-SEC challenge is split between
the leagues, and I'm guessing it is, it would make more sense to play the
games at the arenas that have the highest attendance and likely generate
the most revenue.

Hey, look at that, Kentucky, Syracuse, and Louisville, three of the
highest attendance teams, if not the three highest, are hosting the games.
Funny how that works out.

I would've liked to have seen SU play Vanderbuilt.
