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.

Rating: 5 out of 5 KFC Yum Center
by Anonymous on 10/26/10KFC YUM! CENTER - LouisvilleMy jaw dropped open as soon as i walked in the door. The arena has a variety of food and beverage, and seems to be well staffed. The seating and digital graphics are out of this world. Only down side is the bathrooms are a little small for such large crowds. Above all, it's full of Louisville Cardinal Pride.
Rating: 5 out of 5 Red/White game was amazing
by cardsfan3 on 10/26/10KFC YUM! CENTER - LouisvilleMy family and I went to the UofL Red/White scrimmage game which was held at the new KFC Yum! Center. This place is nice and not a bad seat in the place.

by superdaveb on 10/26/10KFC YUM! CENTER - LouisvilleThe new facility was great, I am still not sure about the parking. We parked 5 blocks away, seems like the farther the better.

Rating: 2 out of 5 Thumbs Down
by lyd40216 on 10/26/10KFC YUM! CENTER - LouisvilleThe seating was too steep for older people. The sound system did not reach that far and all we heard was mumbling. I was looking forward to going to the new arena but with the seating and the parking I know that we will not be attending anytime in the future. Great idea but just not for the older crowd.
Rating: 5 out of 5 Audio needs work...
by CardinalMom90 on 10/26/10KFC YUM! CENTER - LouisvilleWe enjoyed attending the event, however when the Coach spoke, he could not be heard. We were in the lower level section 102. So, for future events, I would suggest doing sound checks and all that...
Rating: 5 out of 5 Great place to watch a game!!!
by Djgocards on 10/26/10KFC YUM! CENTER - LouisvilleGreat place for any event. Arena is very nice and clean. Very nice arena overall.
Rating: 1 out of 5by CardsFan87 on 10/26/10KFC YUM! CENTER - Louisville One of the worst scrimmage's I have ever seen. It was more like a JV Basketball practice. There was no excitement and the sound system is horrible. Most of the crowd left after the first half.
Rating: 4 out of 5 red white
by Anonymous on 10/26/10KFC YUM! CENTER - Louisvillethe event was awsome, my only complaint was the seats in front of you are so close you have to get up every time someone wants to get by. But, the actual event was great

Rating: 5 out of 5 Yum Center Rocks!
by Poorloser on 10/26/10KFC YUM! CENTER - LouisvilleThe Yum Center is amazing. The Cardinals deserve this and it makes the basketball experience there feel like the NBA. Parking wasn't as bad as I thought it would be although the snack prices are outrageous. I guess we will wait now to see if UK tries to build something to out do the Cards.
