Home and Home Series?

[bigblueroscoe]

KSR brought up the discussion today of who would you like to add to the schedule for a home and home series? I would rank mine as :
1.) Duke
2.) Kansas
3.) UNC
4.) WVU
5.) UCLA

Who would you want to play?

 

[drbubba]

WVU. Short trip. UK has had success there. No tobacco road trips.

 

[akaukswoosh]

Purdue is a short trip, would be very popular and would infuriate the Hoosiers.

 

[wildcatwelder_rivals]

Of the 5 options, I'd choose Duke. It would be hugely popular, and would increase the level of interest for regular season hoops, if only a little bit. Two of the all time great programs, one year in Rupp, the next in their tiny gym? Yeah, I think it would be cool myself.

 

[docholiday51]

WVU would be my first choice,I'm in the camp that believes we should never play UNC unless forced to do so in the NCAAT .Duke would be interesting K won't continue to get recruits like the teams he has had over the past 3 years(he didn't do all that much with them) Cal would have won 2 titles with those guys. KU a shorter trip than UCLA(just have someone watch our cars so KU players don't use them for kicking practice)

 

[CatEye2010]

Florida St. maybe? UK alum Leonard "aka Energizer Bunny" Hamilton always has a decent team, plus a chance for fans to go somewhere warm in the winter.

 

[WeWant9]

I’d like to see newer match ups, we play most of those teams in one of the challenges. I’d like to see regular season games vs Michigan, Zona, any of the big Indiana schools not name iu (ND, Purdue, Butler), maybe even a west coast team like Gonzaga. WVU would also be nice, and you have the Cal/Huggins connection. I think there’s a lot of fresh, interesting match ups out there for UK to explore.

I enjoy the blue blood battles, but I don’t feel we need to play ku, duke, unc every season.

 

[MWes11]

For selfish reasons, so I wouldn't have to drive very far and it would more than likely be a top 10 match up yearly, I would like to see them play Villanova home and home. Only 1.5 hours from me here in PA.

 

[STEVECAT]

WVU

 

[Indyadolph]

Purdue is a short trip, would be very popular and would infuriate the Hoosiers.

THIS! I love this idea. "Loosier" Idiot Fans would lose their minds over this happening!!

 

[bradscats]

Someone relatively close that we haven’t already seen played numerous times recently. No Kansas, Duke, WVU, IU, etc. I would like someone like Michigan, Virginia, or Purdue.

 

[Orange Soda King]

Purdue, West Virginia, Villanova

Just my opinion.

 

[UpstateNYCat]

Michigan
Gonzaga
Villanova
Texas

A game I'd like to see happen but it won't is a H&H with Temple and having the Philly game played in the Palestra. If not Temple, then Penn, LaSalle, Drexel.

 

[OnUK]

Nova would be fun. UNC home and home should have never ended. Michigan state.

 

[DelkBowl]

Notre Dame

 

[Pygmy Sasquatch]

I'd like to see Michigan too. Wisconsin could be a pretty intense series, or could have. I think they'll be in decline now.

 

[TFCat11]

1. Duke
2. MSU
3. UNLV
4. UC
5. Memphis

 

[westerncat]

Screw UNC & puke both cheaters. Of the 5 I would like WVU or Purdue as other poster pointed out just to piss IU fans off.

 

[WildcatfaninOhio]

I’d go with either of two schools I’d like to see added with next SEC expansion. NC St or VaTech.

 

[Blue Wildcat]

Where would we benefit the most from a recruiting standpoint-Northeast? Villanova or St. John’s...

 

[CatsPaws270]

Coach K vs. Coach Cal in Rupp and in Cameron needs to happen before the rat retires.

 

[Saguaro Cat]

Western Kentucky. Lot of dual fans would like to turn Diddle blue.
Texas. Fun trip to Austin.
Oklahoma State. Loud little arena they have.

 

[Jamal Mercer]

Arizona
Michigan
Memphis

 

[drew_ukfan_rivals]

Arizona St

 

[FinancialPlannerZac]

How about Syracuse? Not a fan of Boeheim. A yearly go against a strong 2-3 zone would also be fun and potentially helpful down the road. Not to mention playing in a dome atmosphere like we often see in the tournament.

Really like the idea of playing Nova as well. I know it's almost a lose-lose for Cal and UK as a whole, but Memphis is extremely tantalizing too!

 

[billCgmx]

Coach K vs. Coach Cal in Rupp and in Cameron needs to happen before the rat retires.

That will never happen. Coach K won't play on the road unless he's forced to. He's too afraid to play at Rupp.

 

[bucsrule8872]

WVU sounds good. Love the border wars and the schools are close. Most of us like/respect Huggins and he and Cal are friends.

What about Villanova?

 

[bbnkat02]

No to UNC. Decades of corruption doesn’t get to be rewarded.

Duke would be a fun home and home. We are two of the biggest blue bloods.

Villanova would be ok. There are slipping a bit. But Wright is always a good coach and even when his teams are down they play good quality ball.

Purdue would be a great home and home. Fun for both fan bases. Meeechigan would be a fun one too.


All in all? I’d love the chance to embarrass Ratatouille twice a year.

 

[MarkPftw]

UConn..that's all. I just want UK to destroy them.
