Who would’ve guessed that Louisville would do the NCAA a huge favor and just give themselves the death penalty by hiring Payne.

I was watching it on my computer, Louisville looked awful

I know fan bases won’t stop freaking out when missing on targets but the transfer portal is such a game changer.    There are players everywhere at mid major programs and at high major programs on the bench  that can play with anyone.    Dalton K could have played anywhere.   No wonder the staff went hard after him.   That kid was playing at Northern Colorado last year.  Lol.   Players are everywhere 

Dalton Knecht is an absolute animal. Would love to see a guy like that at IU at some point.

We aren't the only program.

Jon Rothstein  -  Kansas State has suspended Nae'Qwan Tomlin indefinitely following his arrest on Sunday morning, per release.

He's their top returning scorer and rebounder.

Give it a few pages and someone will blame the cops.

In his time as Louisville’s head coach Kenny Payne has two losses to D2 teams and a total of four wins.

A couple FWIWs:

Kentucky Wesleyan was picked to finish eighth in their conference this season.  So that is an even worse loss.

....but Kentucky Wesleyan did only lose by 10 at St. Louis to the Billiken 85-75 in an exhibition 6 days ago, so Wesleyan might be better than predicted.

NAIA Kentucky Wesleyan shot 7-37 from three point range in their win at Louisville.

Lots of times you hear people say "I could do that" about high-paid/high-profile jobs....in this case it is literally true. Anyone of us or nearly anyone else for that matter, could roll the balls out at L'ville practices, cuz that appears to be ALL he's doing!

Kenney Payne is to Louisville as Connor Stallions is to Central Michigan.

He's clearly a UK sideline plant.

It really is pretty amazing. Dude was on Calipari's bench all those years. Was at Oregon with Ernie Kent. It's not like he'd never seen a program run successfully. Yeah it's a big move sliding over from the 2nd chair to the big one, but, Jesus.
