Pitino: “If Terry Rozier Is A Guaranteed First-Round Draft Choice, He’ll Go”
Louisville is hosting Notre Dame tomorrow night, and it will be senior night at the KFC Yum! Center. The Cardinals will honor graduating seniors Montrezl Harrell and Wayne Blackshear, but not sophomore guard Terry Rozier.

Louisville basketball dangerous when cornered
Post from:
Not the first rodeo for Rick Pitino, losing a player to self-inflicted wounds, his team forced to make adjustments, backed in†o a corner, challenged by adversity, seeking to remain relevant.
Never expect a Pitino-coached team to quietly fade away or throw in the towel under the worst of circumstance. “We don’t do that,” he said after the University of Louisville’s...

A skeptic might be tempted to conclude that this offensive approach was what Rick Pitino had in mind for the University of Louisville basketball team with the recent benching and suspension of Chris Jones.
Probably beside the point because it’s starting to sound like the suspension wasn’t totally Pitino’s decision alone, as if he may have run afoul of some external constraints...
