MisterE Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 Tonight is the annual Illini-Mizzou Braggin' Rights game in St.Louis at the Savvis Center. This is my favorite college basketball rivalry with the perfect timing with Christmas so it's sort of a tradition to me. It also turns up some odd uniform combonations with one year Illinois wearing orange while Mizzou wore gold.What are your favorite college basketball rivalries?P.S. Who can ever forget Purdue-IU?

ROCHitman Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 Syracuse - GeorgetownAlthough not as high profile as it once as, these two schools still don't like each other when they meet on the hardwood.When I was in school at SU, this rivalry was as good as it gets. It's lost it's luster after John Thompson retired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

infrared41 Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 Duke and UNC.Syracuse and Georgetown. I had the privilege of sitting courtside at the media table for an SU/Georgetown game one year while I was working in radio in Syracuse. It was great. Since I did a talk show I didn't really need to write a story or anything so I just sat there and watched the game from about 3 feet away. Pretty cool. What was weird was that my mom saw me on CBS in Ohio and called me to ask if I was at the game. She doesn't watch sports but she was just flipping channels and saw me on national TV. What are the odds? Hopefully that game will regain the status it once had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
