He averaged 14.4 points, 3.9 rebounds, 3.5 assists, and 1.5…

UofL vs UK is the most heated rivalry in college basketball. Even when one team is clearly more talented than the other, it doesn’t foretell victory for that team. CSZ has compiled YouTube videos of full games and highlights from every Cardinal victory since the 1990s. From Samaki Walker’s triple-double to Q’s nasty, ankle breaking…
UofL and Marquette square off tonight at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, NY. It’s the rekindling of a storied rivalry that dates back to the 90s. Some of the names involved for Marquette included Mike Deane, Brian Wardle, Tom Crean, Dwayne Wade, Steve Novak, Dominic James, Jae Crowder, Travis Diener, Jimmy Butler, Junior Cadougan, Darius…

This is a pretty cool graphic that shows all 22 first round NBA draft picks in UofL history. We have only had one #1 pick and that was Pervis Ellison back in 1989. Three times, we have had two first round picks. 2009 was Terrence Williams and Earl Clark. 1994 was Clifford Rozier and Greg…
Entering the NCAA Tournament game vs Manhattan Career Scoring Leaders 1. Darrell Griffith – 2,333 2. DeJuan Wheat – 2,183 3. Pervis Ellison – 2,143 4. Reece Gaines – 1,945 5. Russ Smith – 1,856
Remember when Louisville was playing at SMU and Luke Hancock was trying to dribble the clock out and not run up the score? Then the SMU player stole and ball and tried to dunk, so Luke dribbled down court and found Montrezl Harrell who pretty much ripped down the goal, and SMU fans got mad….
Russ Smith continues his climb in the UofL record books in some categories. The biggest surprise to me is one where he isn’t even in the top 10 yet, and that is assists in a season. Russ needs 11 assists to tie Reece Gaines for the 10th most assists in a single season. Raise your…

Fans’ Starting 5 Jeremy’s Starting 5 Steve’s Starting 5 Justin’s Starting 5 Point Guard Now this wasn’t an easy choice for me. I’ve always been a ‘guard kind of gal’…if that’s a thing. This is who run’s the offense, my favorite aspect of the game. Some of my first cognitive memories following Cardinal basketball were…
Fans’ Starting 5 Jeremy’s Starting 5 Daryl’s Starting 5 Justin’s Starting 5 I’ve said many times that I will cry the day Rick Pitino retires. Pitino is everything a head coach should be and through the years has had some tremendous players. But if I am putting together a Louisville Rick Pitino Dream Team, it’s…
Fans’s Starting 5 Steve’s Starting 5 Daryl’s Starting 5 Justin’s Starting 5 I am gonna start this off by being honest. I went to UofL to finish my Bachelors degree from 05-06 and was around that basketball team 365 since I had so many friends on that team. I may be a little biased. I may not…
First of all, thanks to everyone who voted on this. I think it was a really cool topic to vote on and discuss with other fans. Hopefully we can do more of these in the future. On the results, the % is rounded, so it may not equal exactly 100% for some reason. So without…
My friend Chris Tingley posed this question to me a couple of weeks ago, and it is very interesting and fun to talk about. Of all the players that Rick Pitino has coached at the University of Louisville, who would be your starting 5? Now I will say that some players did play multiple positions,…
By Justin Renck: Another awesome finish in the Louisville-Marquette series happened on February 17, 2005. The 3rd ranked Cards trailed by 11 to unranked Marquette with 5:38 left in the game. After trailing 61-50, Louisville put the clamps on and Marquette did not score the rest of the game.
Off-season? What do you mean? When you follow an athletic program like the University of Louisville, there is ALWAYS something going on and news to talk about. Such is the case recently. We will try to get you caught up on all of that right here with our news & notes about different teams of…
