The first half was not a thing of beauty for either team. Neither team seemed to be in a good rhythm. Louisville was going into the second half only shooting 14% from the 3-point line (1-7) and held a slim 4 point lead. In the second half the Cards seem to lock in a little […]
It was disturbing and obvious at the start, that the Louisville Cardinals had not dusted themselves off from the butt kicking last time out in Durham. At the first media timeout, the Cards trailed 4-14 to the stampeding Mustangs. Four different visitors had already netted a wide open three. Defense was lax. Coming off the […]
Louisville played perhaps its best half of the season to come from behind and take down SMU, 88-74, Saturday afternoon inside the KFC Yum Center. After trailing 47-44 at halftime, the Cards limited their guests to 11-of-30 shooting and just 27 points over the game’s second 20 minutes. Mikel Brown Jr., who did not start […]
Need it. Go Cards.

—NET Rankings Update (men’s): No. 18. —NET Rankings Update (women’s): No. 9. —Spread check: Louisville by 8.5. —Before taking a visit to Alcatraz on Friday, the U of L women’s basketball team locked up Stanford on the way to its 13th consecutive victory. But this is what it looks like when a Top 10 team […]
Louisville played a balanced game against Stanford and never trailed and racked up another 20-win season. They finished with five players in double figures with Mackenly Randolph and Laura Ziegler having career highs. However, Coach Jeff Walz was not impressed with his team’s outing. Coach Walz said, “Actually I don’t think we played well at […]
It’s hard to believe, but U of L baseball is scheduled to host a baseball game two weeks from tomorrow. Coming off a College World Series appearance, Dan McDonnell’s Cardinals have been picked to finish fourth in the ACC in the preseason poll by the league’s media. Here’s the full poll: 2026 ACC Baseball Preseason […]

Today’s new word learned while reading too much stuff during breakfast: Anvilicious. Which I am using to describe “having an experience so harsh so vile that it’s like being hit with extreme prejudice over the head with an anvil.” Like watching the Cardinals getting drawn and quartered at Cameron Indoor as if Mel Gibson in […]
Well, at least Louisville doesn’t have to worry about how they blew a sizable halftime lead after this one. Duke led by 10 at the break and did what they have done consistently to the Cardinals in the second half, rolling to an 83-52 rout that marked the largest margin of defeat of the Pat […]
With 4:30 left in the opening half, Louisville had overcome. Overcome a weekend of travel uncertainty because of weather. Overcome having to fly to Tobacco Road on game day. Overcome a torrid start by the Blue Devils in Cameron Indoor. Overcome a scoring drought of seven minutes or so, when the Cards missed nine field […]
Let’s notch the biggest win this program has seen in some time. Go Cards.
With the ACC’s release of its 2026 football schedule, we now know the full slate for the Cards this fall. Here’s what we’re working with: Sept. 5 or 6 — vs. Ole Miss (in Nashville) Sept. 11 (Friday) — vs. Villanova Sept. 19 — vs. SMU Sept. 26 — vs. Wake Forest Oct. 3 — […]
We are (finally) back to talk Cardinal basketball, the return of Mikel Brown Jr., and Louisville’s chances of pulling off a monumental win Monday night in Durham. Direct link here.

It is now time — long past time actually — for you conspiratorial Philistines to crawl back down that hole you crawled out of. Let Snowmageddon freeze it shut and seal you there once and for all and forever. I’m talking about those who came with No Nothing Chitter Chatter about Mikel Brown Jr during […]
I thought he’d maybe play 8-10 minutes in this one. I certainly didn’t think he’d go out there and do this.
Mikel Brown Jr.’s first game in over a month wound up being one of the most impressive overall performances he’s turned in while wearing a Cardinal uniform. The freshman point guard showed zero signs of rust, pouring in a team-high 20 points on 7-of-11 shooting while also handing out six assists in Louisville’s 85-71 victory […]
On this frigid day in Louisville the Cards may not have been the most hospitable hosts because they never let the visiting Boston College Eagles get warm. BC didn’t score until midway through the first quarter and were held to 29% shooting for the game. The Cards also defeated them on the boards 49-26. Mackenly […]
Let’s brave the elements and the Hokies. Go Cards.

The 2026 transfer portal window opened on Friday, and Louisville got right to work on rebuilding a roster that has major holes to fill. Our man, John, laid out all the rules and nuances of the portal, as well as the current state of the roster. I’m here to give an update as the first weekend closes […]
