Louisville fans prepared for a coming out party at the new Yum! Center, but Josh Harrellson had different plans. From the end of the bench to Card-killer, Jorts was the unlikeliest of heroes when the Cats took the Yum! Center floor for the first time.
Even John Calipari was shocked to see the stat sheet following the game. “Josh had 23 points and 14 rebounds?” Calipari asked in astonishment while scanning the box score. “Oh my gosh.”
Kentucky dominated from start to finish, leading by double-digits for most of the game. Louisville cut the Kentucky lead to 59-49 in the second half, but it never got closer than ten.
