Is this the best or do you have one better?

Has Kentucky/Louisville usurped Duke/UNC as college basketball's best rivalry? Feels that way because of the two guys on the sidelines. #BBN

I'll be in front of the TV from 12-2pm... Should be a great game.

Calipari and Pitino? They ruin the value of the match-up. They should call it the annual Sleeze Cup Championship.

Turning from basketball to baseball, I see a great rivalry developing between the Yankees and Mets.

In the past, Mets fans used to decry the interleague series between the teams, but now with the Mets on the upswing, I'm sure the Mets fans are looking forward to throwing their fiercesome foursome against the Yankees each year, and the Yankee fans on their part will be just as detrermined to put the upstarts in their place.

New York baseball has become exponentially more exciting with a more competitive if not superior Mets baseball team. Frank

Tom, stop pounding your chest. LOL

I believe that it is the bigger game but also agree re sleaze factor but that same factor extends to Duke/Unc

How many times have we heard stories about kids committing to Duke and their parents all of a sudden getting jobs down in NC super close to Duke?

And does UNC even have real classes that their athletes attend?

Happens at the "best" of the schools.

SH men vs SH Women, although they don't play each other, may be the best rivalry for their respective fans who are torn as to which team is better and will go further in the post season. Runner up RU vs. FDU. What?

Debate rages over Rick Pitino’s finger-taunt of choice

Rick Pitino raised a finger toward Kentucky fans. That much we know for certain.

After Louisville’s 75-73 loss at Rupp Arena on Saturday, Pitino was predictably razzed by Lexington fans when exiting the court. Video soon surfaced of his postgame walk down the tunnel, when he lifted a finger toward heckling fans as he walked past them. The video is not clear, and Louisville is adamant its coach merely raised an index finger.

A Cardinals spokesman told the Associated Press that Pitino’s gesture was meant to signify that, “We’re No. 1.”

Pitino, too, said the dreaded bird was not involved. He continued with the “No. 1” defense, telling ESPN, “I didn’t flip off the fans. I was in the tunnel. People were yelling ugly, crude things that I didn’t like.”

Twitter wasn’t buying it. Scores of critics ripped Pitino for sullying what was a great game of basketball, letting his 1-8 record against John Calipari — and Calipari’s fans — get into his head.

So, which finger was it? You decide:..........
