Louisville basketball squeaked out a difficult victory in one of college basketball’s best rivalries
It was sloppy. It was gross. It was glorious. Louisville took home the win against Kentucky for the first time since 2016.
A game that includes referee Ted Valentine always seems to feel like watching paint dry would be a much more enthusiastic activity than watching the game itself.
Louisville improved to 6-1 while the win dropped the Wildcats to a woeful 1-6 on the year.
Of note, Charles Minlend reportedly went through warmups for the Cardinals prior to the game but did not play.
