The Rivalry: Red V. Blue is a 2013 documentary film directed by Rory Owen Delaney and produced by Wm. Wade Smith. It is the first film to document the famous college basketball's rivalry of the University of Louisville vs. University of Kentucky.[1][2] The film weaves current events, including back-to-back national championships in 2012 and 2013, with the history of a rivalry game that didn't even exist for decades. From 1959 to 1983, the two basketball teams refused to meet on the hard court.[3]

Red V. Blue features interviews with coaches, players and personalities, including Denny Crum, Joe B. Hall, Derek Anderson, Luke Whitehead, Jim Host and John Y. Brown, among others.[4]
