Monday was a whirlwind of a day. After starting off with a cancellation of the Louisville game due to COVID, the Kentucky Wildcats hopped on the phone as they looked to land an opponent to take the slot of the Cardinals on Wednesday.
It first looked like it would be the Bellarmine Knights, but as the day moved on, it started to trend towards being Wisconsin, Texas, or Gonzaga. When none of those could work logistically, John Calipari landed on a game that fans have been pleading for in Western Kentucky.
Yes, that's right, the Hilltoppers will be coming to Lexington on Wednesday night.
