The Cards only played one game last week, but the close win over Wake Forest was enough to jump up two spots in both polls to #16. Louisville hits the road for a pair of ACC games this week, playing at NC State on Thursday and at Clemson on Sunday.

Here are the postgame comments after the win over Wake Forest from Rick Pitino, Damion Lee, Chinanu Onuaku, and Donovan Mitchell. The Cards won 65-57 to start 1-0 in ACC play. Next up will be a road game at NC State this Thursday at 7:00.
Now it sounds like Trey Lewis is going to give it a go and try to play against Wake Forest tonight. He was previously said to be out after injuring his ankle at practice. If you want to see the video of that, Coach Pitino posted it on his blog. I doubt that Lewis will…
It is easy to get down on a team after a loss. Especially when you lose to your rival in such a close and emotional game. Forget that these are young men and that we as fans have literally nothing to do with the outcome of games (other than creating a good home atmosphere, sometimes)….
Welcome to 2016! During the first press conference of the new year, Rick Pitino gave his perspective on the scandal more than he has to this point, at least publicly. That is quite an understatement though. Just check out the videos and/or transcript and form your own opinions on this one.
The game has been over for a couple of days now. So if you are one of the ones to say “It’s over. Move on. Get over it”, then this post isn’t for you. I appreciate you stopping by, but I haven’t written out all of my thoughts yet and closed the door on…
The first 5 guys on the floor matched my prediction for Louisville. As the non-conference schedule has come to a close for the year and it’s been scrutinized as any, let’s assess the Cards because that’s what we as fans & as media do. We criticize and rectify, perhaps justify in any way we can….
The Louisville Cardinals come in at #18 in both the AP and the Coaches Poll this week.
A lot has been made about Rick Pitino not speaking to the media after Saturday’s loss at UK, instead sending Ralph Willard to handle that. Some people don’t think it’s a big deal at all, others think it is. I am more on the side that it is. In his latest blog, Pitino explains his…
It wasn’t a bad play design. At first glance, your reaction after the buzzer sounded yesterday may have been something like “THAT was the play call after a timeout?” Twitter was buzzing with all kinds of hot takes from people complaining about the play and insulting the basketball IQ of Rick Pitino, since people still…
Louisville vs Kentucky First off, I want to wish a very merry holiday season to #cardnation & those who take time to read what I care to say. As Merry as the holiday season can be… Louisville fans haven’t felt the New Year GAMEDAY bliss vs Kentucky 7 out of 8 tries. Not enough down…
January 1, 1995. Freshman Samaki Walker goes off for the Cards, recording the first triple double in UofL history with 23 points, 10 rebounds, and 11 blocks. Watch the full game below and enjoy!
So good to not be on the receiving end of this like we were in Puerto Rico. Kind of think this should happen in every Louisville win. And by “kind of think”, I mean it should absolutely happen.
With the exception of the 2012-2013 season, there’s no secret that John Calipari has had Rick Pitino’s number in head-to-head match-ups. Louisville has been dominant in recent years, as has Kentucky. Both with National Titles, Final Fours, conference championships, both coaches getting inducted into the Hall of Fame, and highly ranked recruited classes all in…
Bompy and Basketball on a Wednesday night. It doesn’t get much better!
