Russ Smith continues his climb in the UofL record books in some categories. The biggest surprise to me is one where he isn’t even in the top 10 yet, and that is assists in a season. Russ needs 11 assists to tie Reece Gaines for the 10th most assists in a single season. Raise your…

The Louisville Cardinals clinched a share of the American Athletic Conference Championship on Saturday, but lost the #1 seed to Cincinnati on a coin flip. Honestly, the #2 seed may have been a better draw. Either way, with the way this team is playing, I would have been fine either way.
Check out this funny story that Peyton Siva posted on Instagram about Russ Smith.

When this season started, some people said that Wayne Blackshear would be the x-factor or the key for the Cards to make a big run. After 2 seasons of injuries and basically being a role player, people were ready for the Wayne Blackshear that was so hyped up when he got to Louisville. He was…
