Louisville Cardinals Men's 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 Final Four appearance while going 416-143 overall.
The Crum era in particular is regarded as one of the great coaching tenures in the history of the sport. After serving as the top assistant to the legendary John Wooden at UCLA, Crum 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 Pat Kelsey.

Louisville Cardinals at KFC Yum! Center
Louisville’s KFC Yum! Center seats more than 22,000 fans, making it the second-largest college hoops arena in the country. The student section is known as The Ville'ns, and they keep the stadium lively.

Good experience
by J. M. on 2/15/19KFC Yum! Center (University of Louisville) - LouisvilleRating: 5 out of 5It was my first time at the YUM Center and it was a great experience. A very good game with good seats.
great game
by K. C. on 12/24/18KFC Yum! Center (University of Louisville) - LouisvilleRating: 5 out of 5Great seats, great bar area, good game. Enjoyed the entire experience.
Red white scrimmage
by Rye2018 on 10/24/18KFC Yum! Center (University of Louisville) - LouisvilleRating: 5 out of 5You expect to see a 40 minute scrimmage, you pay for 40 minutes and you get 20 minutes of actual game time and a 10 minute running clock. Not much of a game like it usually is haven’t missed a red and white scrimmage in years but this may be the last one if it’s gonna be 20 minutes then half time and the game is basically over. Don’t waste your time or money if it’s going to be like this next season. Love seeing the players play but not worth everyone’s drive then pay for parking for half a game.
Mississippi State Game
by KMC2 on 3/23/18KFC Yum! Center (University of Louisville) - LouisvilleRating: 3 out of 5Not pertaining to the game but the ticket process. The first two events I was able to pick my section and seat. This event my seats were picked for me. I did not like this process of getting tickets AT ALL!! I have no idea why they changed the format and I tried several times to change the setting but it wouldn't let me. My seats were ok but not where I wanted to be. Signed, Unhappy Fan
Loss
by Atsugi on 3/23/18KFC Yum! Center (University of Louisville) - LouisvilleRating: 5 out of 5The only thing missing was a win. Poor Cardinals were not a winner.
Yum Center - Mississippi State Victory
by HailStateKentucky on 3/23/18KFC Yum! Center (University of Louisville) - LouisvilleRating: 5 out of 5The Yum Center is an amazing basketball venue and the lower level was filled with 11,000 passionate and knowledgeable U of L fans. Mississippi State played one of their best games of the year and won the game in dominating fashion. We had a great time but we were so engaged in the game that we never made it to the concession stand to enjoy some of their KFC original recipe goodness. HailState
Great Game
by Markywhy on 3/21/18KFC Yum! Center (University of Louisville) - LouisvilleRating: 5 out of 5Had a great time. Seats were excellent. The fans were really into the game & it was great to have real fans in the floor seats instead of the corporate people who are only there to impress.

Go Cardinals!
by JimmyWimmy on 3/17/18KFC Yum! Center (University of Louisville) - LouisvilleRating: 4 out of 5Game 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. :-(
