Forget all the denials, what are the probabilities Pitino would take the Nets job?

Forget all the denials, what are the probabilities Pitino <em>would</em> take the Nets job?

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

Sweet 16 Preview: Louisville-Arizona

Sweet 16 Preview: Louisville-Arizona

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

Does it Get Better Than a Top-Five Big East Matchup?

Does it Get Better Than a Top-Five Big East Matchup?

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. So the argument will be hashed out until the game goes final: Should UConn be the ... Read More

Hubert Davis' reaction and Jay Bilas' 10-second Fantasy Island reference are what make this clip so great. Oh yeah: And the fact that Pitino looks like he's maître d'ing some sort of uppity event down in Bluegrass Country. It should be noted that Pitino took off the threads at the half (when Louisville was trailing) to come out wearing a thick navy blue, and see his team throttle G'Town in ... Read More

Appropriately Named Louisville Player In Trouble Again

Appropriately Named Louisville Player In Trouble Again

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

Louisville Just Became a Little Weaker

Louisville Just Became a Little Weaker

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
