A fitting tribute for one of CSC's finest. ❤️
He spent his career celebrating Louisville’s legends. Now, he’ll take his rightful place among them.

Some connections go beyond the game 🤝
A special moment for the Collins family, Illinois State Basketball, and Northwestern Basketball on Sunday as Doug Collins sat courtside to watch his alma mater face his son, the head coach of Northwestern.

A rare honor for an SID. A totally deserved honor. There were stretches of time when Kenny was the glue keeping the Louisville athletic department together. He's missed every day.

For the third straight year, @kayla_karius and @gbphoenixwbb hosted their Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Game, known as “Macklin’s Game,” honoring Karius’ son, Macklin, who passed away in 2021.
This year, players wore jerseys bearing the names of children gone too soon, bringing together 15 other families who have experienced the loss of a child to remind them they’re not alone. ❤️❤️

Am so grateful for you @dipaularose!
An absolute legend. I remember being a college freshman in 2006 saying to myself that I wanted to work for you one day. It’s been the ride of a lifetime that has helped me in more ways than you know. So happy to celebrate and honor you, @BrendaFrese! 🐢❤️

This says it all about Tom Izzo and @MSU_Basketball. Really powerful.
Michigan State journalism student Elliott Hammon still has the video Tom Izzo sent him before his brain tumor surgery four and a half years ago.
Hammon brought it up during Izzo’s press conference and asked how it impacts him knowing he means so much to people.
Izzo’s full response:
“It’s better than winning.”
“What people think of you, how you can inspire people. I mean, that’s why I’m here. Some people jump around and go to different jobs. I want to be a part of the fabric of this place, and I want to be a guy that people can come to.
“If that tape, or that video, or phone call helped you… (pounds chest) that’s awesome.”
