Local artist Chris Chappell’s design is inspired by the connection of Louisville and Lexington as the bluegrass state’s largest cities and the competition between the University of Louisville and the University of Kentucky. This rivalry between the two schools (Cards vs. Cats) who play in different conferences is one of the most intense and passionate in college basketball, and is one of the things that makes Kentucky great.
The sides the tabletop and full-size versions of this statue were signed by the University of Kentucky Men’s Head Basketball Coach Mark Pope and the University of Louisville Men’s Head Basketball Coach Pat Kelsey and will be part of the Gallopalooza auction on October 4.
