Rick Pitino came on ESPN 93.9 The Ville and talked about this years basketball team. He said “We’ve pressed a lot in the past but this team is very long, very athletic. I’m very bullish on this basketball team.” I absolutely love those words. I’m guessing you do to. Here is the article,
“The Rockets reached agreement with second-round pick Chinanu Onuaku on a three-year, fully guaranteed deal, using their remaining cap space to come to terms on the kind of contract they hope will provide time to develop the 19-year-old center.” – Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle Here are the details,
An article published by The Sporting News in June of 2015, talked about Louisville players in the NBA and the lack of staying power despite collegiate success. The article says “Terrence Williams, Samardo Samuels and Chris Smith had their shots. Peyton Siva, the point guard on that championship team, is stuck in the NBA Development League. Francisco…
From dancing to video-bombing, you will find it all here in this great video. I want to point out to @TheACCDN that my only gripe is that if you do a running man challenge video montage you have to include Damion Lee. Other than that, kudos. 📲🖥🎥 | Take a look back at #MustSeeACC…
V.J. King has arrived in Louisville. The 5 star Forward from Paul VI in Virginia took to Twitter as soon as he got to the YUM! practice facility. He wanted to let Damion Lee know that he had his back. Damion responded. https://twitter.com/Dami0nLee/status/736638324471799808 As you can see, Quentin Snider’s locker is next to VJ’s and…
Billy Donovan will not replace Rick Pitino when he retires from coaching basketball at The University of Louisville. Donovan will likely never coach in the college ranks again. Donovan, in his first year as the Oklahoma City Thunder head coach, has taken his team to within 1 game of the NBA finals. If the Thunder…
Today this surfaced on Instagram and I thought it looked pretty nice. What do you think?
On Wednesday, May 25th, Louisville Center Chinanu Onuaku will have to decide if he will remain in this years NBA draft or if he will return to Louisville for his junior season. Everyone has an opinion on his future and I am no different. When I stared as a contributor for Cardinal Sports Zone I…
We at Cardinal Sports Zone are a member of the 93.9 family. Whenever Rick Pitino comes on we do our very best to share it. Our guys Mike Rutherford & John Ramsey had the incomparable Rick Pitino on their show today. He had a lot of interesting things to say and I will not spoil one…
When the 2nd set of self-imposed sanctions the thing that people worried about after they collected their thoughts was: How will we recruit? I say after because when they were announced, people acted like they were unaware that these sanctions were coming down. We all assumed that reduction of scholarships, recruiting restrictions and a…
It’s may not be another championship but it’s something worth being proud of. For the umpteenth consecutive year the UofL Cards made the list of the most valuable programs. There was something surprising on this list. Louisville was one of 10 ACC teams in the top 50 of College Basketball schools with the most net…
This scandal has taken a toll on all of us, especially Rick Pitino. He has been through so much more than the average NCAA Division 1 basketball coach. I believe it’s starting to show. I worry about his health. After he came out an said he would be back next year, most of us started…
Sometimes you just see cool things on the net. This was one of those times. I just wanted to share. Go Cards!
Both Damion Lee and Donovan Mitchell attended last nights game between the Kansas Jayhawks and the Villanova Wildcats.

In 2001 I heard rumors that Rick Pitino would likely be the coach to replace Denny Crum. Ironically, it was said that Pitino was choosing between Michigan and Louisville. It was also said that ultimately he chose Louisville because Michigan was a football school and he didn’t want to play second fiddle to any other…
