Kentucky and Louisville couldn't settle their better in state rivalry in the Commonwealth, so they will head to the 2012 NCAA Final Four in New Orleans to do battle. Pitino vs. Calipari the pair have met on this stage before in a National Semifinal during the 1996 NCAA Final Four. Pitino would lead Kentucky to a win over Calipari and UMass, while eventually winning the National Championship. Fast forward to 2012 it was expected all season with the Wildcats talent, for UK to be in New Orleans. The same couldn't be said for Pitino and Louisville. The Cardinals won the Big East Tournament, then would knock off #1 seed Michigan State and come from behind fashion during an Elite 8 win over Florida. Can Louisville get a win versus Kentucky a team with only 2 losses this season and send Pitino to the National Championship game ? Kentucky defeated Louisville during their regular season matchup.
