Jonneshia has been an integral part of our program’s success, bringing relentless energy, elite recruiting ability, and a deep commitment to player development every single day. Her passion for the game […]
Talking on the phone the other day with a pal who follows the sport, but not with the obsessiveness of most of you readers or your scribe, he asked how I was faring now that the season is over? To which I admonished, first the season isn’t over given the little matter of the upcoming […]
Khani Rooths has joined Sananda Fru in becoming the first two members of the 2025-26 Louisville men’s basketball team to make it known that they intend to enter the transfer portal when it opens next week. In his second season with U of L, Rooths averaged 5.3 points and 4.3 rebounds per game, appearing in […]
—The Louisville baseball team will look to solve its midweek woes when it faces Eastern Kentucky tonight in Lexington. Here’s a preview. —It’s the 40-year anniversary of Louisville’s 1986 national championship game win over Duke. The CJ’s Brooks Holton tells the story here. —This week in Cardinal athletics is heavy on road contests: Tuesday, March […]
We’re back again with another batch of practice notes from Louisville’s last two open football practices. Jeff Brohm opened up a Friday and Saturday practice, with the latter having refs and yard markers to conduct some scrimmage segments. If you missed the first batch of notes, they’re right here. Let’s dive in. QUARTERBACKS This group […]
Per multiple reports, center Sananda Fru is the first Louisville men’s basketball player to enter his name into the transfer portal this offseason. I would not expect him to be the last. Fru led Louisville in rebounding (6.1 rpg) and blocked shots (1.4 bpg), while also averaging 9.0 ppg while shooting 50.0 percent from the […]
Arguably the most talented football player in the city of Louisville is staying. Christian Academy wide receiver Ja’Hyde Brown (2027), who had previously been committed to Indiana, picked U of L over Kentucky, Alabama and a host of others Monday afternoon. A four-star prospect, Brown has helped the Centurions to state champions in each of […]
Highway 19 slips into southwest North Carolina at Belleview, creeps its way northwesterly through Burnsville, Mars Hill, Asheville up to Cane River, where it splits into 19E and 19W, both of which meander off into Tennessee. Unfortunately, some of the poesy is lost because it doesn’t jackknife through the heart of Tobacco Road, the corridor […]
Louisville stormed out of the gate going up 8-0. Michigan scored their first basket of the game with 3:45 left in the first quarter. Unfortunately in the second quarter the Cards seemed to run out of steam. They finished the quarter on a 18-2 run up 32-27. The Cards regrouped in the third quarter and […]
Go Cards.
One last Friday night of hoops this season. Here’s the lineup:
Video: Transcript: THE MODERATOR: Coach, we’ll start with your opening statement. JEFF WALZ: Thank you. I want to start off first by saying what a great experience this has been so far. Everyone here in Fort Worth has been absolutely first class. Everything has been handled fantastic. It’s been a really good experience for our […]
We revere the opening weekend of the NCAA tournament. We play hooky. We eat snack foods we know aren’t conducive to good health, such that we put our bathroom scale in the closet so it doesn’t stare us in the face in the morning. We sit on our butts in front of the TV for […]

Louisville has lost a second assistant in as many days with the news that general manager (and former assistant) Brian Kloman is off to Auburn. Kloman has spent each of the last two seasons working with Pat Kelsey, including the past two at Louisville. After serving as a standard assistant in 2024-25, Kloman was given […]
The first major offseason shakeup for the Louisville men’s basketball program is here. Card Chronicle can confirm multiple reports that Cardinal assistant coach Thomas Carr is leaving to take a similar position at Indiana. The Field of 68’s Jeff Goodman was the first to report the news. Carr has spent the last four seasons as […]
The sturdiest Louisville Slugger is made of rock maple, a wood that is as tough as it sounds and the vibrant crack of a baseball off the bat usually reflects that. But over time, even rock maple will weaken, slowly rot and eventually break. The same can’t be said for the exploits of a real-life […]
Now for some musings on a weekend vacationing in the Land of Overinflated Balls. Otherwise known as the Greatest Weekend in Sports, the opening two rounds of the NCAA tournament. Have no comments on the testicularity of it all. But can say from a personal standpoint, my eyes are crying for a rest, and my […]
Most of Louisville’s losses this season were by just a few points so the question loomed could they finally finish when it counted. Today they proved that they could at the most important time and earned themselves a trip to the Sweet Sixteen. Elif Istanbulluoglu led the Cards with a double-double of 18 points and […]
Go Cards
Last day of opening weekend. Would be a lot cooler if we’d won.
As disconsolate as I may feel in the immediate aftermath of Louisville’s season ending 69-77 loss to Michigan State, I am consoled by contextualizing a sad moment with this heartening reality. It came on March 21. It came in the second round of the NCAA tournament, a place the Cardinals had not resided in for […]
At the end of the first half the score was 32-28 in Louisville’s favor. Two players on Vermont’s team, Keira Hanson and Nikola Priede, combined for 24 of those 28 points. In the third quarter the Cards held those two players to a total of 6 points. There’s your ballgame. Mackenly Randolph did it all […]
This would be a special win. Let’s go get a special win. Go Cards.
