Louisville Cardinals Basketball History

An excellent college basketball program across all eras, Louisville is notable especially for its continuity. Bernard "Peck" Hickman (1944-67) went 443-183 during his time in the ‘Ville; John Dromo (1967-71) went 68-23 during his brief run as coach, which ended when a heart attack forced him to retire; Denny Crum (1971-2001) went to six Final Fours, won two national championships and left campus with a shiny 675-295 record; Rick Pitino (2001-17) added another national championship to the pile and two more Final Fours, going 416-143 overall. 

The Crum era in particular is regarded as one of the great coaching tenures in the history of the sport. He was the top assistant to the legendary John Wooden at UCLA, and in his first year in Louisville he took the Cardinals to the Final Four — the first coach to make a Final Four in his first season as a head coach. He earned the nickname  "Cool Hand Luke" for his demeanor and "Mr. March" for all the deep postseason runs his teams produced over the years. His offenses were famous for their post play — "Never Nervous" Pervis Ellison was the rock of the Cardinals' second national championship team — and his defenses were a frenzy of switches. The style of play was perhaps ill-suited to the era of the three-pointer, but he was still winning games into the mid ‘90s, including a 26-9 season in 1996-97.

Currently, the team is led by coach Kenny Payne.

    Go Cardinals!

    by JimmyWimmy on 3/17/18KFC Yum! Center (University of Louisville) - Louisville

    Game was fantastic! KFC Yum Center is the best place for sports in the land. Mobile ticket plan was a disaster. Had to eventually get 2 of 4 tickets by going outside and back-in to Customer Service to get those 2 printed. :-(

    We had a great time at the game even though it was not the NCAA tournaments. The KFC Yum Center is by far the best arena around to attend any events.

    Fun Time

    by Mmill on 10/30/17KFC Yum! Center (University of Louisville) - Louisville

    It's always a great time when we go to show support to the U of L athletes. Whether it's football, men's or women's basketball and even the girl's volleyball we like to show our teams we care! The Yum center is a very nice venue, too bad we don't have indoor football there.
