Report: IU vs UK series may return by next season

Not sure if I agree with just doing the neutral site because that is giving Calipari and Kentucky what they want, which is a platform to showcase their team in Indianapolis, one of the best hotbeds of basketball talent.

If we are stepping away from college teams can we get a home and away with the Pacers?  Even UK fans don't consider it a real school:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1oPf59ogPhs

They play there every year anyway. Might as well play us. Let us showcase our team against UK on a big stage.

Ok this would be awesome!

I love reading UK fans comments about how they feel a threat to their safety when they're inside The Hall. lol Talk about a mental edge. Even the fans are shittin their pants.

exactly...as if their couch burning, police car vandalizing, looting, drunken shenanigans are less of a reason to be afraid than when they step into Assembly Hall...what a bag of tools.

I wasnt a fan of the court storming, lucky no one died, BUT UK fans can feel safe very easy, STAY HOME!

Reading the Rupp Rafters Forum is really quite comical. All they have to say is "IU doesn't deserve to play UK" and "Assembly Hall isn't safe".

Remember that time UK fans stormed the field at Commonwealth stadium and they still lost to LSU?

we would be playing at the same place so dont get that point. There is no reason we shouldn't be able to out recruit kentucky in our state. I know we aren't currently but there is no excuse for it. If we play kentucky and play well we will benefit the big stage just as much as they will.

they wouldn't need to play us to showcase their team in Indianapolis. They destroyed kansas this year in Indy. If we don't play them in indy they will just find another team to play

As if they wouldn't be hostile at rupp? Please give me a break this is the same fan base that set fires and destroyed their own campus.....and they felt unsafe at AH..... Ok lol

I really hope so, I have really missed playing UK! Hope there are campus games involved in this! Nothing better than a crazy college arena going nuts!!!

[Hoosier Roots 743]

Jesus. I've never seen such a righteous and entitled bunch of people. It appears that they hate us much more than we hate them despite repeatedly calling us irrelevant.

[coonhounds 8,787]

This rivalry should never have ended in first place. I am ok with neutral or on campus just have a dang game

[TheWatShot 13,654]

Hopefully Calipari takes an NBA job this summer and we curbstomp their depleted roster. 

[Class of '66 Old Fart 83,984]

To paraphrase Mark Twain, the news of resuming an IU - KY basketball rivalry has been greatly exaggerated.

[Feathery 4,005]

This game needs to be played every year. I don't care if they decide to play the game in Antartica.....play the damn game!!!!

[CrossboneIU22 1,180]

The game was played on a Neutral court for many many years.  It was nice having it back at Assembly hall for a change but most of my life the game was played on a neutral court, so I say lets play!
