This week…..on 55….. As we come down to the last few episodes of 55, it’s only fitting that the end of the basketball season is near too. I just wish there was something to talk about. Oh yeah…we get uk again! So in the spirit of revenge on those we despise more than Digger Phelps…

#BathroomSelfies Former Kentucky Wildcat Doron Lamb seems to enjoy tweeting about the Louisville Cardinals.

Louisville is wack — Doron Lamb (@DLamb20) March 21,…

This is a very interesting topic. As a Cards fan, who do YOU WANT Louisville to play in the Sweet 16? Do you want a rematch with Wichita State? They are undefeated and haven’t lost since the Cards beat them in the Final Four. Or do you want a rematch against Kentucky? No…

Everyone take a deep breath. The Cards survived and advanced. We will be playing on Saturday for a chance to go to the Sweet 16. This game will be put behind us and it won’t matter. Here are my initial thoughts just a few minutes after the buzzer… *I thought Wayne Blackshear played a GREAT…
Gorgui Dieng had his best night as an NBA player on Thursday night, and is having his best week. He recorded his 3rd straight double-double for the Minnesota Timberwolves as he scored 22 points and grabbed 21 rebounds, both career highs. He was 10-11 from the free throw line and also added 4 assists. On…
Gorgui Dieng is making the most of his opportunities with the Minnesota Timberwolves as their starting center, Nikola Pekovic, is battling injuries.

ESPN.com’s Kieran Darcy published an article on Sunday night about the reaction that Manhattan head coach Steve Masiello had when the bracket popped up on the screen showing that their first round game would be against the Louisville Cardinals and his mentor, Rick Pitino. Needless to say, Masiello was not thrilled. Just check out this…
Remember when Louisville was playing at SMU and Luke Hancock was trying to dribble the clock out and not run up the score? Then the SMU player stole and ball and tried to dunk, so Luke dribbled down court and found Montrezl Harrell who pretty much ripped down the goal, and SMU fans got mad….
I think we are all finished believing the notion that the selection committee doesn’t look for story-lines when making the brackets. I haven’t even looked at a bracket yet, other than when they show up on TV, because for some reason I usually wait until I fill mine out on Tuesday or Wednesday to even look at…

He played 37 minutes and had 12 points, 11 rebounds, 5 blocks, and 2 steals! It was his first double double in the NBA as the Timberwolves beat the Sacramento…
