Kenny Payne Fired as Louisville MCBB HC After 8-24 Season

Louisville has parted ways with men's basketball head coach Kenny Payne, who led the Cardinals to a 12-52 record over his two seasons at the helm.

Jeff Goodman of Field of 68 was the first to report the news on Tuesday after the Cardinals' season ended with a 94-85 loss to North Carolina State in the first round of the ACC tournament.

ESPN's Pete Thamel and John Fanta of Fox Sports were among those who later confirmed the news.

The Cardinals went 5-35 in ACC play over the past two years, posting last-place league finishes each time.
