LOUISVILLE, Ky. (LEX 18) — Former Wildcats and Cardinals faced off in Freedom Hall last night, and as you can guess, tensions were high.
The main story happened to be what happened after the game: a fight between two players turned into a full-on brawl.
While there was speculation after the game about what actually happened, La Familia's Nate Sestina confirmed: "Chinanu Onuaku spit in his face."
Initially, there was no video proof this incident actually happened, and a Louisville reporter even tweeted at The Ville's team manager, "That was not what he was told happened."
However, it was all captured on video by LEX 18's Kinsey Lee:
