Any fan who thought this first season under first-year head coach Kenny Payne was going to be seamless was thinking unrealistically.
It seems Louisville Men’s Basketball has been able to run into every possible bump in the road in recent memory. These bumps have seemed to ensue from recent scandals that have set the program back in multiple aspects, including everything from postseason bans, recruiting restrictions, and most significantly, a vacated National Championship.
The fans have unquestionably been dragged through the mud since the first developments came out of the Katina Powell scandal.
A mission to restore the legacy of a program
This season seemed like the turning of a page, the spring of a new era for Louisville Basketball for the program and the fanbase.
