It was a busy weekend for UofL sports, as a lot of teams were in action. Here is a quick rundown of how the weekend went for the Cards!
*Denny Crum Contest– We appreciate all of the entries, and it was tough to pick a winner, because they were all good. With that being said, Jennifer Keller’s entry about her boyfriend Todd Franks was chosen as the winner. Thank you for all the feedback for this contest. Hopefully we will have more fun contests soon!
*Men’s Basketball– The Cards (ranked 25th at posting time) won their 4th game in a row, defeating Rutgers 78-66. Check out the CSZ recap here. They are now 18-5, 6-4 and face UConn (15-7, 5-5) tonight at 7:00 on ESPN. Full preview coming later.
