I’m pretty sure I contradict myself every season and end up saying both Miznoz and Iowa are my personal most hated rival, depending on who is up next in the schedule.
Sorry -- it's the archrival Hoosiers hands-down (predicated upon the heated battles between Lou and Bobby). Add to that Quinn Buckner and Isaiah going to Bloomington instead of Champaign....and each winning a national title while there. Then sprinkle on the despise for Steve Alford, Randy Wittman, Ted Kitchel, Calbert Cheaney, Daryl Thomas, Alan Henderson, Keith Smart, Jay Edwards, and Damon Bailey.
They lead the all-time series 93-88, thanks to winning 7 of the last 9 games. We are, in essence, mirror image programs and were ranked the #5 and #6 NCAA basketball programs of all-time by ESPN just 13 years ago. And yet, Indiana has 3 national championships and is/was considered a blue chip program.
Jealousy, I guess..........
