The Big Blue Nation still admires Kenny Payne, but he’s certainly not doing himself any favors with Card Nation.
In his first year as the head coach at Louisville, Payne’s return to college basketball (finally) came to a disappointing end. The Cardinals lost in the opening round of the 2023 ACC Tournament on Tuesday evening to Boston College, 80-62, as the program closed out what was arguably the worst season in school history. Louisville finished with an overall record of 4-28, including a 2-18 mark in conference play and entering the league tournament as the lowest possible seed.
