The state of Kentucky continues to amaze with their outpour of support for the tornado victims in Western Kentucky. After the Louisville Cardinals were forced to pull out of their game against the Kentucky Wildcats on Wednesday due to COVID protocols, Kentucky tirelessly worked the phones to find a replacement for their primetime matchup.
While there were initial reports of Bellarmine as Louisville’s replacement, there were also rumblings of Gonzaga — last year’s runner-up in the National Championship — potentially coming to Rupp Arena. However, neither ended up being the team that Kentucky will play as a replacement.
