When Utah visits Rupp Arena on Dec. 15, you will see the most psychologically intriguing contest of the impending Kentucky hoops season. Over the past 25 years, Kentucky basketball has tormented no program like it has haunted the poor Utes.

Six times since 1993, the two schools have met in the NCAA Tournament.

See if you detect a pattern in these results:

1993: The Wildcats beat the Utes in the round of 32.

1996: The Wildcats beat the Utes in the round of 16.

1997: The Wildcats beat the Utes in the round of eight.

1998: The Wildcats beat the Utes in the NCAA championship game — by rallying from 10 down at halftime.

2003: The Wildcats beat the Utes in the round of 32.

2005: The Wildcats beat the Utes in the round of 16.

Many of the modern playing legends of Utah hoops must have nightmares about UK.

I was at the game in 2005 when we beat Utah and lost to Michigan State in double overtime which kept us from going to the final four. That was the Austin regional. Rondo was our point guard and Patrick Sparks was the shooting guard.

If they count Sparks basket as a three rather than a two we win the MSU game!

I thought it was a three instead of a two, most did except the men in the striped shirts.

Yeah but that same stripe had just finished working a double shift at "The Foot Locker" so his vision was a little blurred!
