When the NCAA Tournament selection show revealed Louisville would play in Western Kentucky’s host site, the storylines immediately jumped to what could happen in the second round.
The rematch is what everyone wanted. The only dent on WKU’s remarkable season is a loss to the Louisville Cardinals exactly three months ago.
Then came Wednesday, the day both teams opened practice to prepare for the tournament in E.A. Diddle Arena. Then came the words from Louisville’s Anna Stevenson that added fuel to the fire that didn’t need fanning in the first place.
“I just think it would be kind of fun to be their only two losses on the year,” Stevenson said at the team’s news conference on Wednesday.
