LOUISVILLE -- When news broke that Louisville was among the teams involved in the FBI's investigation into college basketball, Anas Mahmoud didn't get down or start worrying about what would happen in the coming weeks.
The Louisville senior looked at his younger teammates and had a simple message: We'll be fine. We've been through this sort of thing before.
"It's bad when you get used to it," Mahmoud told ESPN.
The timeline of the scandal and drama surrounding the Cardinals program is well-known by this point. In October of 2015, a woman named Katina Powell wrote a book alleging that former Louisville director of basketball operations Andre McGee hired escorts and strippers for recruits during campus visits.
