Kentucky basketball plans Tuesday telethon to help victims of Western Kentucky tornadoes

SOUTH BEND, Indiana - John Calipari is planning a telethon for his Kentucky basketball team to raise money for Western Kentucky tornado victims.

"We play basketball," Calipari said after Kentucky's 66-62 loss at Notre Dame Saturday. "This is someone losing their mother and working in the warehouse, working for Amazon and all of the sudden this happens. Now, it’s like all hands on deck."

Four tornadoes devastated parts of Kentucky overnight Friday into Saturday morning. At a news conference Saturday morning, Gov. Andy Beshear said more than 100 people may have been killed in the storms.
