Louisville to Face Off against Kentucky in Sweet 16 Action

The NCAA basketball tournament is in full swing and, as usual, Kentucky has a case of March Madness!

In the Midwest corner of the bracket, our home team Lousville Cardinals entered the tournament at 4th seed and beat Manhattan to move into the next round where they put down St. Louis.  Meanwhile, the number 8 Big Blue UK Wildcats from just down I-64 beat Kansas State and then Wichita State.

Next stop: Indianapolis, where the ‘Cats and Cards will duke it out in Sweet 16 action this Friday, March 28 at 9:45PM.  CBS will carry this Bluegrass State battle so local viewers should be able to watch the game on WLKY 32.  The winner of this game will advance to take on either second seed Michigan or number 11 Tennessee.

Despite being U of L’s home, Louisville often seems like Lexington Light given the huge Big Blue Nation presence.  As the blue and red flags indicate, Derby City can be “a house divided” when the Cards and Cats face off.
