Description
More than 100 years ago, the University of Kentucky and the University of Louisville met for the first time on the basketball court. More than 30 years ago, the intrastate rivals faced Each and every other in the original Dream Game.” Fightin’ Words has the inside stories of these games and others from the rivalry, in addition to tales of how Louisville coach Denny Crum out-recruited Joe B. Hall for the athletes in inner-city Louisville; how Rick Pitino had a dominant tenure at UK, then left to turn out to be the Cardinals’ coach; how John Calipari brought UK back on top; and a lot more.
The book covers everything from the 12 games between the rivals before the 1983 game, the 24-year buildup (and 61 years since the last regular season matchup) to the 1983 game and how it after all became an annual rivalry, and then individual chapters for the 31 UK/UL games since. Each and every chapter contains pregame analysis, game coverage, and postgame discussion, with firsthand interviews from players involved. The authors reveal the effects of Each and every game on both teams and on the history of college basketball.
