Louisville basketball hasn’t beaten Kentucky on the road at Rupp Arena since David Padgett was with the Cardinals… as a player.
The now 34-year-old has since gone on to be an assistant on and off at UofL and IUPUI before becoming the interim head coach for the Cardinals in 2017-18. All of that happened since the Cards last won in Rupp on January 5th, 2008.
Rick Pitino was in his seventh season at Louisville, George W. Bush was still in office, the iPhone 3G wouldn’t be released for another 18 months, and the price of gas… was, well, more expensive actually (see 2008 gas crisis, kids).
