As expected, John Calipari and the Kentucky Basketball team are stepping up to help those affected by the tornadoes in Western Kentucky. Following his team’s 66-62 loss to Notre Dame, Calipari announced that the program will hold a telethon, tentatively scheduled for Tuesday, to raise money for disaster relief.
“The Commonwealth really was dealt an unbelievable blow that is going to take decades to fix,” Calipari said after the game. “These tornadoes came through and the death, the destruction — you’ve seen the pictures.”
Last night, four tornadoes touched down in the western part of the state, causing widespread damage.
