"We play basketball. This is someone losing their mother, working in a warehouse, working for Amazon, and all the sudden this happens. It's just, you know, so now it's like all hands on deck. I believe Tuesday we're gonna do a telethon and really have our team engaged in this," said Calipari.
Before the game, Coach Cal took his team to the Grotto on Notre Dame's campus to pray for victims.
We are devastated this morning seeing the images of what has happened in Western Kentucky and across our state. We cannot imagine what you are going through. We stopped by the Grotto on the way to shootaround to pray for everyone affected by last night. You are in our hearts. pic.twitter.com/qmT8LrEvgl
