When the schedule for this basketball season was released, one of the first things that most people looked for was probably when the Cards would play North Carolina and Duke. If so, they would see that at this time in January, they would face those teams on back to back Saturdays, which is pretty awesome….

The latest AP and Coaches Polls were released on Monday afternoon, and the Cards did not suffer a big drop after the 1 point loss in Chapel Hill. They also beat Clemson during the week, and other big teams lost. Plus it was a 1 point loss on the road, in a game where the…
Every Monday, the ACC basketball coaches join in on the ACC teleconference at their scheduled times. Today should be a good one with Rick Pitino. Not good because of the loss to UNC, but you would expect him to have some important things to say following that game and getting ready for tomorrow night’s game…
Just a few quick notes about the Tar Heels before the Cards take the court today in Chapel Hill in what should be a very exciting game. -North Carolina enters the game with a record of 11-4 and 1-1 in the ACC. They lost on Monday at home to Notre Dame 71-70. -Their other 3…
Roy Williams and sophomore forward Kennedy Meeks met with the media to preview the Louisville game. They both talked about Montrezl and his energy, and Roy Williams used “harassment” to describe Louisville’s defense.
It appears that Russ Smith may be making his way out of New Orleans and to…Memphis. Talk about a change in cities! Sorry Russ. This is still in the works and is being reported by Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo Sports. If you know much about Adrian, you know that he probably knows what you had…

Opening statement: When you get into league play, every game takes on a different style and certainly this will be a totally different style from the Clemson…
For the most part, if you know who an official is by name, that probably isn’t a good thing. It usually means they have caused so much controversy that you actually remember who they are every time they officiate a game involving your favorite team. Louisville fans shouldn’t have to worry about Karl Hess anymore,…
On his radio show Thursday evening on 840 WHAS, Rick Pitino dropped some unexpected news about next season’s class. Currently, the Cards will be bringing in three freshmen: Donovan Mitchell, Deng Adel, and Ray Spalding. But the new news is that Pitino said that they are also “looking at two fifth-year transfers” to add next…
Not UofL related, just funny… Carlton Bragg is one of the top prospects in the 2015 class. He announced his college decision on Thursday afternoon. The hat he put on did not match his words. He put on a Kansas hat but said that he was going to Kentucky, then he corrected himself. Well done,…
The Cards defeated Clemson on Wednesday night by a final score of 58-52. For most of the game, it wasn’t pretty. But pretty or not, Louisville now finds themselves 14-1 and 2-0 in the ACC. Here are my 5 quick thoughts from this game… 1. Montrezl foul trouble hurts With 14:36 left to play in…

Chris Jones talked after the game about looking for teammates, the impact of Montrezl Harrell, and how it is in the ACC.
No title seemed more appropriate than the slogan that is used for the University of Louisville (It’s happening here). I mean the actual University, not just athletics. At least that is the last slogan I am aware of, not sure if it has changed again. When I started this post, it was going to only…

The Louisville Cardinals are no strangers to being in a high quality basketball conference. That has never been an issue. But even with that, there is something pretty special about being apart of the ACC now. And the Cards (13-1, 1-0) began this chapter with a victory on the road against Wake Forest (8-7, 0-2) 85-76…
The result wasn’t what we wanted for the Cards, but here is the full game of the 1996 Sweet 16 matchup between Louisville and Wake Forest. The Demon Deacons won the game 60-59 and were led by Tim Duncan’s 27 points and 13 rebounds. For Louisville, Samaki Walker led the way in scoring with 16…
The University of Louisville has released pictures of new uniforms that the team will wear on January 17 against the Duke Blue Devils. They feature the famous “dunking bird” logo on them, which many fans have been wanting to see for quite some time. They celebrate the National Title teams from 1980 and 1986….
