I think we were all ready to get into a tizzy this morning when this story was filed and sent out to the masses. Mitch Lawrence of the Daily News wrote a piece that Nets GM Rod Thorn and Rick Pitino himself have already gone on the record to deny. It's a natural reaction, of course. Even though Louisville is about 20 lengths behind in the Big East race, this is ... Read More

What to Look For: Three on three. Jordan Hill, Chase Budinger and Nice Wise against Earl Clark, Terrence Williams and Samardo Samuels. It should be fun. The Wildcats don't feel like a 12-seed. In fact, can you even remember the reasons to keep this team out? It feels more like a No. 8 vs. No. 1 here. The trouble for Arizona is the coaching mismatch and how that fits right into ... Read More

The last time the No. 1 team in the country flew into Louisville, it walked back on to the plane with a loss. That would be Pittsburgh. Tonight, soon-to-be-No.1 UConn looks to give Louisville its first loss in the Big East. A win for the Huskies would leave Marquette alone at the top of the conference.

From the "Yeah, I Guess This Was Bound To Happen" Department: Talented, troubled Louisville sophomore Derrick Caracter was indefinitely suspended today. The primary reason? He didn't go to his room when Ricky told him to! Caracter has reportedly been on a strict curfew since September and has broken that curfew a couple of times. Why do I want to believe that it wasn't just 1 a.m. Wendy's runs that were the ... Read More

Grr. Muscles. Anyway, the Cardinals will be without David Padgett (likely) for the season, but the earliest he could be back is just after Valentine's Day. The good news is that it's one of those types of injuries that sound completely painless. Yes, fortunately Padgett will only be sidelined by a fractured right knee cap. (My god that's gotta hurt)... It truly is a sad day for Louisville; Padgett ... Read More
