UI filled a void left by KU, and the rivalry intensified further after Cuonzo was hired and poached several high-profile recruits and players from UI.
One thing that made the KU rivalry more "important" in the past was that it was a *conference* rivalry, played twice per year.
Now they'll be a non-con rival played once per year, like Illinois, which changes the dynamics.
