Success of Donovan Mitchell excites Louisville community despite NCAA controversy

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — In the heart of the University of Louisville campus, students Ryan Hudson, Seth Gordon and Lincoln Carr enjoyed the basketball game from the wooden top bar area in Griff’s restaurant.

“C’mon now,” Carr yelled at the big-screen TV while munching on a “Fastbreak” burger.

The trio would leave former Utah Jazz star Darrell Griffith’s place of business disappointed Thursday afternoon, before heading into a 4:30 p.m. special education class.

Not with the restaurant’s service, but after watching Louisville lose to Virginia, 75-58, in the ACC Tournament quarterfinals.

“It’s up and down, man,” Hudson said of the team.
