As the clock winds down on Christmas and we turn our focus to the UofL-UK game, let's all take a moment to remember the greatest moment in this rivalry's history.

Please dispel the notion that there’s always some random UK that beats Louisville. Under Cal, every UK player that scores double digits made it to the NBA - except Dom Hawkins. One guy ain’t a trend. Unless Cousins, Randle or Anthony Davis scoring surprises you. pic.twitter.com/JodedbiF3N

Zero.
Agree, mostly. I think the panic from UofL will be greater than the “we fixed it” from UK side but I could be wrong. https://t.co/VwOLAA1QZF

Clarke playing helps UK and that’s not debatable.
— T.J. Walker (@TJWalkerRadio) December 26, 2020
And the “random UK player going off against UofL” is largely a myth UofL fans use to rationalize the lopsidedness of the rivalry. Cal has had the more talented team all but once. Better teams usually beat worse teams. https://t.co/UKvRIl0Etr
