Quickies: Great Day in the Bluegrass Edition

It was a good day for the Bluegrass state yesterday...OK well maybe for half of the Bluegrass state. For Kentucky fans, the Wildcats got a huge road win that’ll probably go a long way in the team’s tournament seeding, and the Louisville Cardinals lost their third title to a huge scandal, dropping them back to two. Great day for Big Blue Nation, disheartening day for L1C4.
