As y’all know I’m a huge Kentucky Wildcats Basketball fan, so what I find surprising is that Roy Williams wants to terminate the UNC\/UK basketball games by 2018. How does one decide they want to stop a long coming rivalry? Is it a mutual agreement? do both of them have\u00a0to agree on the subject or can one coach just say that enough is enough.<\/p>\n

As far back as I can remember,\u00a0my dad would always let my twin brother and I fight over who got to sit with him at the UNC\/ UK game whenever it was at Rupp Arena. The Cats don’t play the Tarheels every year and in the off year that they don’t play each other, the Cats will usually play Duke or another top 25 team who is not in the SEC. Every year when they release the non conference schedule, I’m always eager to see who the Cats are playing. For instance, the Wildcats normally play the Louisville Cardinals right after Christmas, either the following day or three days after, but this year the game has been moved to December 21st.<\/p>\n

The whole scheduling process confuses me in sports. How do they decide who plays who each year. As mentioned above, UNC and UK don’t play each other in basketball every year but when they do they alternate home courts. Why not just play every year?<\/p>\n

Here is an article I found about Roy Williams wanting the\u00a0UK\/UNC<\/a>\u00a0games come to an end by 2018. And here is a second article about scheduling that addresses why the\u00a0UK\/UofL<\/a>\u00a0game has changed dates for the first time in years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
