It’s no secret that Louisville is having a difficult men’s basketball season, including an 82-70 loss Saturday on “Russ Smith Day” at the KFC Yum! Center.
The loss has the Cardinals sitting at 11-8 on the season with games against Virginia, Duke and North Carolina coming up.
To add insult to injury, Louisville fans cheered loudly for former head coach Rick Pitino when he appeared on a video with words about Smith.

Tim Sullivan believes it’s the loudest the Yum! Center has been all season:
Don’t have a decibel counter, but the loudest roar I’ve heard at the KFC Yum Center this season was when Rick Pitino appeared on the video boards during Russ Smith number retirement ceremony.
