LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WHAS11) – Nearly 24 hours after the NCAA men’s basketball brackets were revealed, the Louisville Cardinals and Kentucky Wildcats women now know their journeys.
The Cardinal women have earned a No. 1 seed in the Albany Region and will face No. 16 Robert Morris at the KFC Yum Center on Friday at noon.
Coach Jeff Walz will sit out Friday's game after receiving a one-game postseason suspension for comments made to committee members and NCAA staff seated near the scorer's table during Louisville's loss against Mississippi State in the 2018 Final Four.
Kentucky received a No. 6 seed and will face 11-seeded Princeton in Raleigh, North Carolina on Saturday at 11 a.m.
For the first time since 2016, Indiana will also make an appearance in the tournament. The Hoosiers received No. 10 seed and will battle No. 7 seed Texas on Friday in Eugene, Oregon in the Portland Region. That game will begin at 7 p.m.
The reveal came early as ESPNU accidentally showed the women's NCAA after returning from a commercial break during their Bracketology show, according to Deadspin.
ESPN did send out an apology and aired the full bracket at 5 p.m. but still moved ahead with the Selection Show at 7 p.m. Monday.
