Good Wednesday morning!

Yesterday we got the sad news that long-time Louisville Cardinals head coach, Denny Crum, passed away. Crum was 86-years-old.

Coach Crum was responsible for putting Louisville basketball on the map in the 1980s, winning two national titles in 1980 and 1986, and five Final Fours.

Following Coach Crum’s retirement in 2001, he would co-host a radio show with former Kentucky Wildcats head coach Joe. B Hall, from 2004-2014, with the show ending in October of 2014.

Coach Crum left a lasting impact on Louisville Cardinals basketball, and an even bigger one on the Commonwealth of Kentucky.
