Kentucky Governor Congratulates Louisville Women's Team After Jeff Walz Calls Him Out

Louisville women's basketball coach Jeff Walz made sure to remind Kentucky governor Matt Bevin of his team's achievements on Saturday.

Walz called out Matt Bevin after the governor took to Twitter on Friday night to congratulate the Kentucky men's basketball team on its trip to the Elite Eight but overlooked Louisville's similar accomplishment. The Cardinals are one win away from the Final Four after beating Oregon State 61–44 in the Sweet 16.

"Thought you might want to know you have a group of young women that will be playing in the Elite 8 Sunday also," Walz directed at Bevin in his own tweet.
