According to Louisville head coach Kenny Payne, point guard Ty-Laur Johnson refused to play in the first half of last night’s win over Bellarmine because the team didn’t have the tights he wanted.
“You ready for this? I probably shouldn’t tell you this,” Payne said. “We didn’t have the tights he wanted, so he didn’t know if he wanted to play. Oh yeah, you heard it. We didn’t have the tights he wanted, that we’ve never had for him, and he decided, ‘I don’t feel like I can go.'”
Johnson got his tights situation worked out at halftime and contributed five assists in the second half to help the Cardinals (4-3) equal their wins total from last season.
