Kentucky basketball vs. Louisville all-time (14 different arenas)

UK is 34-16 all-time against the Cardinals.


In the modern home-and-home series (initiated after the "Dream Game" in 1983), Kentucky leads 22-12.


Regular season home games: UK is 17-5 (77.3%)

Rupp Arena: 13-4 (games played in 1983 through present) - 76.5%
Buell Armory Gymnasium: 3-0 (1913, 1914, 1922)
Woodland Auditorium: 1-1 


Did you know?  UK never played UofL in Alumni Gym or in Memorial Coliseum.  Crazy, right?  


Regular season road games: UK is 12-9 (57%)

Freedom Hall: 7-6 (1984 through 2009) - 53.8%
Yum! Center: 2-2 (2010 through 2016) - 50.0%

1984 Mideast Regional Semifinal at Rupp Arena
1951 East Regional 1st Round at Reynolds Coliseum (Raleigh)

Losses:
1983 Mideast Regional Final at Stokely Center (Knoxville)
1959 Mideast Regional Semifinal at McGaw Memorial Hall (Evanston)


Other: UK is 1-0
Old Madison Square Garden (NYC, 1948 Olympic Trials): 1-0


One final, happy note:
- UK has won three (or more) in a row against UofL EIGHT times, and UofL has never accomplished a three game winning streak against UK.

Among other websites consulted, one of my main sources for this and many other posts is the peerless UK resource (and probably the best site of its kind for any sports team) known as "The Kentucky Basketball Statistics Project" operated by Jon Scott.  Available at http://www.bigbluehistory.net/bb/statistics/statistics.html
