It was a strange coincidence that Butler’s Shelvin Mack was selected Sunday to sit next to Kentucky’s top spokesperson. DeWayne Peevy, the University of Kentucky’s public relations director who also works for the NCAA during the Final Four, happened to be placed next to Mack in a conference room for the assembled Final Four media. Mack is from Lexington, Ky., and like most people from that city, let alone the Commonwealth, grew up a Kentucky fan. As he matured into a legitimate Division I prospect, his dream was to play for the Wildcats.
