Kentucky’s opponent in Friday’s exhibition game surely set a record for an early arrival. The Indiana University of Pennsylvania team came to Kentucky on Tuesday and beat Morehead State 91-84 in a scrimmage that evening.
With so much time to kill, and no need to rush home after Friday’s game, the IUP traveling party could have made arrangements to attend the monumental Kentucky-Georgia football game Saturday afternoon. But no.
“I would love to stay and watch the game,” IUP Coach Joe Lombardi said Monday. “But I’ve got to get back to work.”
For Lombardi, the Kentucky-Georgia football game would have the feel of a reunion.
