The Governor's Cup has turned into a survival test. With Louisville missing nearly every skill player and Kentucky down key defenders, Saturday will be decided by who has any healthy bodies left.
Forget "strength vs. strength." This year’s Governor’s Cup is going to be "whoever is left vs. whoever is left."
We have seen injury-riddled games before, but this is different. This is a M*A*S*H unit matchup. Both Kentucky and Louisville are limping into Saturday with rosters that have been absolutely gutted by the long grind of the season.
