College Basketball Rivalry Power Rankings

With this being "rivalry week" Fanhouse took a look at the top 10 rivalries in college basketball.  Of course they put Duke - North Carolina #1 but Kentucky made the list at #2 with Louisville and #9 with Tennessee.  

2. UK-Louisville -- As if Rick Pitino's treacherous ways didn't ignite this intra-state rivalry enough, Kentucky went and got Pitino's biggest personal rival to coach its team. Though the bitterness between Calipari and Pitino is certainly overblown, it remains safe to assume that they don't care for one another too much. With both teams currently trending upward, the battles will only become more intense -- and more important. -- Evan Hilbert

9. Kentucky-Tennessee -- Bruce Pearl's arrival in Knoxville only further ignited this longtime rivalry between two border states and conference foes. It didn't hurt, of course, that Pearl has used two Kentuckians -- Scotty Hopson and Chris Lofton -- to key much of his success. Tennessee's, and to a lesser extent, Pearl's, swagger is a perfect foil to Kentucky, the SEC's most dominant program historically. -- EH
