Cats need a 35 & OT to survive & advance.
📸: UK Athletics The University of Kentucky Wildcats came into today’s game against St. Clara off of their 3rd loss this season to Florida & 13th overall of the year. Now the Wildcats entered today’s first-round matchup of the NCAA tournament with something to prove more than ever. Now granted, the Wildcats have had some big wins this season (2) against the Vols, (1) against Vandy, (1) against St. John’s, but having 13 and being only eight games over .500 is something that is

Cards get it done! 83-79 and advance for the first time in nine years
📸: Jeff Nunn Despite the news of ⭐️ PG Mikel Brown, the Cardinals came into their tournament game against the Bulls of SFU with victory on their minds. Prior to today’s March Madness game, it had been nine years since the Cardinals had tasted victory in the NCAA Basketball Tournament. The first half had its moments of both highs and lows as the Cardinals would have consistent spurts of turnovers. But the turnovers didn’t stop the Cardinals from having massive spots and momen

You Are Loved.
We all go through things in life, some good, some bad, some hard to comprehend. We also tend to forget just how important mental health is for folks, more importantly for men. One thing that can, could, would help is if men found it within themselves the ability to talk and open up. That right there alone can and does work wonders. The way though, even in 2026, unfortunately, it’s still found upon in a sense by society about men being emotional and being open about their fee

Louisville marches to 5th win in a row, 82-71 over Baylor.
Coming off an historical performance by Mikel Brown last game against NC State, the Louisville Cardinals entered today’s game against Baylor, poised to continue their winning ways. The first half between the Cards and Bears was one of weirdness and oddness as miscues, ill-advised plays, and unnecessary taunts caused the Bears and Cards to be tied 34-34. I will say this, I guess, when the hosting home team is 14th in their respective conference, one game over .500, the crowd y

Coming up short against Florida
Kentucky entered today’s game against Florida on an amazing high following last week’s come-from-behind victory against Tennessee. Out of the last ten games, the Wildcats had won 9 of 10. Not to mention, the Wildcats had clawed their way into second place with a chance for a tie at first in the SEC. Right from the start, the Florida Gators were running and gunning, shooting from every angle and spot on the floor. The Cats would start to make a comeback of sorts, but the Gator

Mikel breaks record, as cards route the pack.
📸: Jeff Nunn Coming off a close victory against the demon deacons of Wake Forest, the Cardinals faced the Wolf Pack of NC State. And let’s be real here, folks, the first half couldn’t have started off any better than it did for the Cardinals. The Cardinals made an impressive nine three-pointers out of 12 shots and shot a near 60% overall from the field. Freshman star Mikel Brown balled out during the first half, having scored 21 points, grabbing 6 rebounds, and having 2 ass

Some Techs? No problem.
Coming off of their embarrassing loss to the Commodores of Vanderbilt, the mark pope lead wildcats were poised to write their wrongs. The only problem with that was they were coming into Arkansas to face the Calapari-led Razorbacks, in a hostile environment on primetime ESPN television. Let’s be real here: the first 15-16 mins of the game against their former coach, the fans of BBN were basically watching a different team from a few days ago, then the team that took the court

Mikel Back in fold for the Cardinals.
For the first time in 41 calendar days (8 games), the Louisville cardinals and #CardNation welcomed star point guard Mikel Brown back. When he finally took to the court, his presence was evident and immediately noticed as the flow of the game and team morale was noticeably different. Mikel seemed to pick up right where he left off, almost in a sense like nothing was lost. Right from the jump, the energy had shifted in the arena as 15,000 plus members of #CardNation came to th

Kentucky hits mambo #5 w/ win over Ole Miss 72-63.
Coming in riding a four-game winning streak with back-to-back come-from-behind wins, the Wildcats were poised to continue their winning ways as the Rebels of Ole Miss came into town. Things started off rocky in a multitude of ways with the much-earlier start time due to winter weather, and the way the Cats played the first ten minutes or so. The Cats truly didn’t start to get things going until hometown true freshman Jasper Johnson started making shots. After Jasper’s eight-p

Indiana 🏈 National Champs
Who could have ever fathomed uttering the words, “Indiana is your 2026 National Champions in Football?” Let’s all be honest here though, no one ever in their lifetime thought those words would ever be uttered, that was until last night when it actually happened. Last night during the national championship game between Indiana and Miami, the Hoosiers defeated the Hurricanes by a score of 27 to 21, to make those words a reality. It’s truly something that’s hard to grasp for mos

2nd Half , Different team.
The vibes were high, and all the moods were right as the blue devils of Duke came into town. The blue devils were ranked 6th in the nation, and the Cardinals were ranked 20th in the nation prior to tip-off. The game started off with a bang as guard Ryan Conwell caught fire, hitting three straight 3-pointers, and of course, not long after, the blue devils would come back. The Cardinals, up to this point, were making crisp passes and battling on the inside of the paint, which t

Cards Prevail in the land of Beans, win 27-22
The Louisville Cardinals started their 13th and final 🏈 game of the 2025 season against Toledo in the Bush’s Boca Raton Bowl. In a season filled with the highs of highs and the lows of lows, Louisville 👀 to end their season the right way with a victory. Sunny and 78 degrees with an endless supply of beans is an oddly satisfying combination for the coaches, players, and fans during Christmas week. Playing at the place named after a Cardinal legend in Howard Schnellenberger,

Volslated
The University of Louisville Cardinals had been on a roll of sorts, having defeated four historical opponents in Kentucky, Indiana, Memphis, and Cincinnati. With the momentum from the great start they’ve had so far this season, the 11th-ranked Cardinals had vengeance on their minds against the Vols from last season. The start of the game for Louisville would start off on the wrong foot as freshman phenom starting PG Mikel Brown would miss the game due to lower back strains.

Cards finish strong, maul Cats 41-0.
Louisville came into this game with moral and heart in question, giving their questionable performance the previous couple of games. With a dejected fan base and players looking checked out, a lack of positivity was plentiful heading into the 2025 edition of the Governor’s Cup. Prior to the start of the Battle of the Bluegrass, it had been noted that the Cardinals would be without their first three running backs, their star wide receiver Chris Bell, Caullin Lacey would be hea

Cards bounce the bearcats 74-64.
12:27 is the mark when Louisville hit their first field goal of the game. The Cardinals would start 0-9 from the field, 0-7 from 3pt field, and only converting a handful of free throws in nearly eight minutes. It was very clear that up to this point the Bearcats of Cincinnati had come to play with their A game at Heritage Bank Arena. Finally, the Cardinals would convert their first made three-pointer as Ryan Conwell would drain it within the 10-minute mark, and two shots late

From nothing, to something
Here’s my Q&A with Shawnee Middle School Head Football Coach, Jon Corleone. C: What was the process like for you in becoming the head coach at Shawnee? J: It was a very simple process for the most part. I was told about the opening from a coach on the past coaching staff because he knew my love for the kids and experience of the game and the way I developed my former youth league players coming up. I went in and took the interview and got the call less than 48 hours later and

The Cards have risen, Louisville beats Kentucky in battle of blue grass. Cards 96-88
22,586 plus mostly Louisville fans packed the KFC Yum Center for an unusually early matchup. The Cardinals were set to face their arch rivals, the Wildcats of Kentucky. Ahead of the first timeout of the game, Cardinals Ryan Conwell and Mikel Brown had scored all of Louisville’s 12 points up to this point in the game. Moments after the first timeout of the game, McKneely would drill a three from the top of the key, showing why Kelsey came after him. After that, the Wildcats of

Cards Fall Short , Cal wins in OT, 29-26.
It’s was quite amusing how Cal began the game with a flea flicker on the first play, however they’d get the last laugh. Jeff Brohm at Card March. After the Bears were unsuccessful in their attempts, Miller Moss and co were poised to march down the field. After a few hiccups, the Cardinals started hitting their stride as Miller would find a cardinal for a FIRST DOWN CARD! After Miller & co got the first down for the Cardinals, Keyjuan Brown had a solid few carries getting anot
