He spent his career celebrating Louisville’s legends. Now, he’ll take his rightful place among them. On Jan. 2, we’ll honor Kenny Klein with a permanent place in the rafters of the KFC Yum! Center. We love you, Kenny. ❤️ More Info: uofl.me/4sdE6uI #GoCards

Louisville AD @JoshHeird talks about the 2013 National Championship banner: "The landscape changes. We didn't agree with that decision then and I can absolutely promise you we don't agree with it now." Heird tells the fanbase UofL will "do everything we can" to get banner back

I can’t stop watching these clips of @patkelsey in court. Proud to have him leading our program. His energy and passion are contagious. Who wouldn’t want to play for @LouisvilleMBB?!? Buckle up for a fun season!

💯 This play followed by Isaac Brown’s 97 yard TD turned all the momentum. Longest play in UofL history. Go Cards!

Florida State-Louisville turned completely on one play, when Mike Norvell said no to a FG and 17-0 lead and was stopped on fourth down inside the 5. We'll see if it stays turned in the Cardinals' favor.

It was always an honor to me that Kenny Klein knew my name. He was one of the kindest, most genuine people I’ve had the privilege to know. Rest in peace, @KKcards. You’ll be deeply missed by the entire Cardinal community.

I am going on record. The NCAA Tournament was perfect at 64. Anything else is shameful greed exhibited by power conferences. Anyone who loves the sport knows this is the gospel truth,
