Billy Gillespie is probably picking up ‘For Sale’ signs off of his front lawn at this hour. Louisville, struggling with its own problems right now, took the Wildcats to task in front of the hostile crowd at Rupp Arena that practially blue itself in disgust. The Cardinals were deep and fast with a defensive presence full of the double entendres. Senior forward Juan Palacios returned after being injured for 10 games, putting up 17 points with 6 rebounds and 4 assists. Right about now, Kentucky fans are probably inching very closely to the “Fire Coach” lever which, if you are not familiar with it, looks remarkably like Conan O’Brien’s “Walker, Texas Ranger” lever.

Louisville 89 – Kentucky 75
