Back to the Louisville Cardinals Newsfeed

Kentucky’s Mark Pope just spilled the truth about Louisville basketball's rise

Louisville basketball is one of the most historic programs in college basketball. The Cardinals have a rich history that draws many college basketball fans to tune in for their games, and when Louisville basketball has a good season, then college basketball is having a good season.

The Cardinals had a horrific two-year run before head coach Pat Kelsey took over, as Louisville went 12-52, including a 4-28 record. Louisville had some embarrassing losses throughout those two seasons, but in just one season, Kelsey was able to completely flip this program around and not only put Louisville back on the map, but have them a National Title contender.
