Louisville Coach Rick Pitino Denies Making Obscene Gesture to Fans
A win by the Cardinals against a quality opponent will strengthen the argument that they belong among NCAA’s elite.

In Calipari’s six years, Kentucky has won three SEC regular-season titles and three SEC Tournament crowns. That team, Louisville, is going to do some damage. “It was a great, great accomplishment for us to outscore them in the paint”. Three – Hield, No. 11 Iowa State’s Georges Niang and Gonzaga’s Kyle Wiltjer – were named to the five-man AP preseason all-America team, the most in five seasons.
The game was a back-and-affair until something potentially bad turned into something good for Kentucky.
Dominique Hawkins had the game of his life against the Cardinals today at Rupp Arena.
Kentucky’s victory was an encouraging way to end an up-and-down non-conference season.
-Louisville is 26-3 in the month of December over the last four years.
Lee, the only player on either team to log all 40 minutes of action, said he also got encouragement from Anas Mahmoud, Mangok Mathiang and other teammates. “Let’s be classy, and I expect that’s how they’ll be in this game”.
A big story coming into the game was the bench difference for either team.
Kentucky’s Jamal Murray (23) defends Ohio State’s A.J. Harris (12) during the second half of an NCAA college basketball game Saturday, Dec. 19, 2015, in NY. Epps, who didn’t have a field goal in the first half, scored 11 points in the final two quarters. “We weren’t really playing our game”. Pitino continued, “The 1-8 comment was fine”.
Against Kentucky’s six biggest rivals of the 1990s – Louisville, North Carolina, Duke, Indiana, Tennessee and Arkansas – Pitino went a combined 31-16.
Guard Trey Lewis, another fifth-year player, followed Lee on the U of L scoresheet with 15 points, and sophomore forward Chinanu Onuaku had nine points and 10 rebounds.
Kentucky built a 16-point lead early in the second half. Lee scored 14 points on 5-of-10 shooting in the second half and gave the Cardinals their high point of the second half with a 3-pointer at the 5:34 mark to pull within one point. “He’ll come back and surprise most of you (media types), and I feel that happening”, coach John Calipari said. Heck, if I were John Calipari, I’d throw him in the starting line up.
United Kingdom is 17-7 vs. UofL when the Cardinals are ranked.
The statistics that measure how well a team plays offensively and defensively lean heavily in Louisville’s favor. Labissiere also needs more than just the two points and five rebounds he put up against the Buckeyes. The two combined for four of the Cats’ 11 made threes, and Hawkins even poured in a career-high 13 points in the process.
