I bet you were wondering why Kentucky Basketball is playing Ottawa

First of all, Ottawa is not in Canada and they aren’t called the Senators.

The Ottawa Braves are a NAIA school in Kansas and happens to be the alma mater of University of Kentucky athletic director Mitch Barnhart.

Barnhart had the team over at Commonwealth Stadium tonight for dinner to prepare for tomorrow night’s game in Rupp Arena.

I'm excited to welcome my alma mater, @OttawaU, to UK. Dinner tonight at #TheNewCWS and a game at Rupp tomorrow. pic.twitter.com/u9erJ4NsNm

I wonder if Ottawa knows how lucky they are to be at Commonwealth tonight instead of last night?
