Men’s Basketball: The Cards (13-4, 1-3) got destroyed on Tuesday night 90-59 at Providence (12-6, 1-4). The Friars controlled the game from the start, and it just got out of hand. This will either keep the Cards down for the rest of the season, or it will be the wake up call they need. We will…

After starting the season 12-0 and climbing all the way to #4 in the rankings, the 14/15 ranked Cards (13-3, 1-2) have now lost 3 out of their last 4 games, and have looked bad doing it. If there is any good news, it is that they are in a portion of the schedule where…

*Men’s Basketball: It was a very ugly game yesterday against Notre Dame as the Fighting Irish won 67-65 in double overtime. The game was tied at 50 after regulation, which shows how much offense there was. It was a game of turnovers and missed free throws for the Cards. They had 18 turnovers and were…
Nick Dawson (6’2 215 lbs) has just committed to the Cards! Dawson is a 4* LB from Charlotte, NC. His dad actually lives in Louisville. He had offers from Auburn, Arkansas, USC, Clemson, Miami (FL), Tennessee, UK, Pittsburgh, Vanderbilt, Virginia, Illinois, UNC, NC St., Maryland, and even a couple others. This is a huge pickup for…
In the past, the annual Army All-American Bowl, showcasing some of the best high school football players in the country, has not been of interest to Louisville fans. This year, that is much different, thanks to Charlie Strong and his staff. They are recruiting the best talent, and are getting some of those kids very…
This Saturday, the Cards (13-2, 1-1) will try to win their second Big East game in a row as they host Notre Dame (9-6, 1-1) at 4:00 at the KFC Yum! Center. After losses to Georgetown and Kentucky, UofL came back strong on Tuesday with a 73-58 win at St. John’s. This is the…
After having so many seniors on the 2010 team, 2011 was supposed to be somewhat of a rebuilding season for Charlie Strong. With a new offensive line, very young defensive backs, and either a former walk-on or a true freshman starting at quarterback, just making a bowl game would be a challenge. Here is a…
*Football: In the last week, the UofL football team has added two new transfers to the team from the University of Florida. Robert Clark and Gerald Christian will have to sit out the 2012 season, but will be ready to play in 2013. Clark was a 3* CB coming out of high school, but has…
*The 14th ranked UofL women’s basketball team improved to 13-2 (2-0) on the season after beating Marquette (9-6, 0-2) 70-53 on Tuesday night at the KFC Yum! Center. Shoni Schimmel led the Cards with 17 points. Bria Smith added 16 points. Becky Burke had 13 points, and Cierra Warren was the fourth Cardinal in double figures…
It wasn’t a pretty 40 minutes, but Louisville (13-2, 1-1) did what it needed to do to beat St. John’s (7-7, 1-2) 73-58 in Madison Square Garden on Tuesday night. The Cards used swarming defense, good 3 point shooting, and a 2nd half run to extend the lead to 26 to put this game away….
After starting the season 12-0 and then losing their last two games, the 10/11 ranked Cards (12-2, 0-1) will try to get back on track Tuesday night in Madison Square Garden when they take on the St. John’s Red Storm (7-6, 1-1). Not that any stretch of the Big East schedule can be called “easy”,…
In a game that most people will first talk about the 52 fouls called and 70 free throws attempted, a more telling stat may be the rebounding margin. UK (13-1) had 57 rebounds (20 offensive) and UofL (12-2) had 31 rebounds. Because of those 20 offensive rebounds, Kentucky had 20 second chance points, and only 6 for UofL. It…
We will keep updating this page over the next couple of days up until the UK game on Saturday. We have comments from former players, and some UofL-UK videos to post. So we will just keep this as a running front page and will let you know anytime it gets updated. Our last UofL-UK interview…
Men’s basketball isn’t the only team playing a home game at the KFC Yum! Center today. At noon, the 14th/13th ranked UofL women’s team (11-2) will host UT-Martin (6-5). The Cards return home after a three game road trip, with two of those games being out west. UofL’s only 2 losses this season have…
In a game with a blocked punt, a fake punt, a couple of onside kicks, the craziest personal foul you will ever see, and questionable play calling down the stretch from both teams, N.C. St. escaped with a Belk Bowl victory 31-24 over the Louisville Cardinals. They end the seaon 8-5, and UofL ends their…

Cardinal Sports Zone decided to launch during a very busy week in Cardinal athletics. But we knew how busy and fun it would be. That is why we did it. Here are some things you can expect to find during this week:
This Tuesday night, the UofL football team will try to do something that hasn’t been done in the school’s history: win 3 straight bowl games. It would not be in 3 straight seasons, but 3 straight bowl trips. The Cards will take on N.C. State at 8:00 pm on ESPN. UofL leads the series 3-0 against the Wolfpack, with the…
