For the second time in as many games, Kentucky has been forced to scramble to find an opponent. Due to positive tests within the Louisville program the Cardinals were forced to back out of Wednesday night’s rivalry game. Coach Calipari then announced on his radio show Monday evening that the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers would come to Rupp Arena instead. Attempts were made to try and schedule Gonzaga, Ohio State, and Texas, but the logistics couldn’t be worked out. However, once the Hilltoppers original Wednesday night game was called off due to health concerns at Austin Peay, it created an opening for the in-state programs to come together.
