Thanks to UPS, the Louisville Cardinals got to ball on Saturday.

The Atlanta Journal Constitution's Ken Sugiura reports that adverse weather left the Cardinals' chartered team plane stuck in a holding pattern above Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport on Saturday morning, and the team was able to make it in time for its 2 p.m. game against Georgia Tech only after UPS offered space and an exit ramp for the team to deplane.

"After the Louisville flight was cleared to land, UPS offered a secured area to park and arranged for stairs for the team to disembark. If not for UPS, which uses Louisville International Airport as a hub for its international air network, Louisville could not have made it to McCamish Pavilion, a team spokesman said."
