Kentucky and Louisville have met 43 previous times with Kentucky winning 29 and Louisville 14.  Louisville and Kentucky will be meeting in the NCAA tournament for the fifth time.   Kentucky won in 1951 and 1984 while Louisville won in 1959 and the "Dream Game" in 1983.  This will be the first meeting in the Final Four for the two bitter rivals and I expect nothing less than a furniture store full of burning couches!
