They played in Vegas that year, why schedule the same team twice?
UNC sent UK a contract, why didn’t it get signed?
That time Tayshaun Prince dominated UNC

As lopsided as the series is, that was a good call on UK’s part.
You mean the series UK leads 9-8 since Y2K? Errrr, wait.... are we allowed to go back later in history if it benefits your argument? IDK how this works.
Nope, again Roy didn't cancel the series and why should he, the head to head is in our favor by a wide margin.
No. I like his choice to go with this century when counting head to head records.
Kansas is 6-3 against Kentucky in the 21st century.
Sounds much better this way.
I feel like Luke Hancock and Spike Albrecht did something similar in the same national championship game. Both stretches of scoring were unreal.
I was there and it was crazy when Davis block Henson! The look on Roys face was priceless. I bet he didn’t have a coke or moon pie for days after that late game play call he made.Laughing
Not sure I would be pumping up Tayshaun too much. I mean, he did that against a UNC team that won 8 games. They were just a very bad team that year. Duke beat Carolina by 29 on the road in 2002.
In all seriousness, from what remember they cancelled it because they were going to end up playing anyway. Then the idea was to renew it after that but Cal thought for a young team their schedule was already too loaded with some of the other games they had (which could be true for sure). I know Cal has mentioned before that with a young team he definitely wants a balance of challenges and games they can grow with while also winning. I think it is probably smart and has worked for him. Obviously neither coach is scared of the game. Once the ACC goes to 20 games I do fear UNC will lose out on some of those OOC matchups because of revenue.
Correct except it was never cancelled. The contract was for 10 games. It was never renewed because of that classic UNC plays UK in.
What was priceless was watching Luke Maye outplay Kentucky's one and dones. Being there in Memphis with all those Kentucky fans made it even better.
How many threatening calls and emails did you send? Asking for my friend who works for the FBI.
I'm not going to lie, I hope Higgins does do another UK/UNC game at some point and actually does favor UNC. Like, for real too, not just in bluegrass make-believe land. I would never have wanted something like that but at this point would think it to be awesome.
