From Rick Bozich: “I've talked to several former Louisville and Kentucky players about the original Dream Game this week. Former UK player Bret Bearup had a great story about coach Joe B. Hall and how he reacted when one of his players talked about the UK-U of L series. After the two schools played in the 1983 Southeast Regional final, the annual rivalry began the following November at Rupp Arena, a game Kentucky won easily as Sam Bowie made his way to the cover of Sports Illustrated.”
