Rick Pitino isn't going to take John Calipari's taunts lying down.

The Louisville coach responded after the Kentucky coach implied that there was only one major basketball program in the state.

"Four things I've learned in my 59 years about people," Pitino told CBSSports.com. "I ignore the jealous, I ignore the malicious, I ignore the ignorant and I ignore the paranoid."

"If the shoe fits anyone," he added. "Wear it."

As if the rivalry between the Cardinals and Wildcats isn't hot enough, Pitino and Calipari have certainly added some fuel to the fire in the last week.

Should be pretty warm by the time these teams meet on Dec. 31 in Lexington.
