Another tough year for Kenny Payne and UL?
- Thread starter Smashcat
- Start date
I didn’t watch I was told he didn’t play good by one of my friends I’m waiting for the game highlights to be uploaded
I didn't even know UofL was playing tonight but I've watched a condensed game now... I gotta say, these officials did all they could do. It was pathetic and they were giving every possible benefit of the doubt for Louisville and they STILL couldn't pull out a win with Wesleyan.
Wesleyan won the rebounding by 47-33. This wasn't a fluke
Wesleyan only shot 7-37 from 3pt range for 26%. Again, not a fluke.
From what I was watching, it was a very pedestrian ky wesleyan team that just outhustled and outworked Louisville.
My thought is this: and this is coming from a guy who loves Kenny Payne as a #2 man for the Cats... he won't survive this season if things do not change significantly immediately.
Here's the truth, and I've seen it myself in multiple professions, there are some guys who get promoted to incompetence. Payne is an excellent associate, an excellent associate coach and an excellent big man coach. But I don't think he will be able to get this program able to compete at the highest levels.
I'll also add- for his sake, I'd be happy to be wrong. For Louisville, I hope no coach brings them back to elite level. But I hope Payne figures it out. If all else fails, I hope he comes back to UK.

Only bright spot for UL was Clark. Looks like they would have been spanked without him.

39 to FOUR in bench points?! That's absolutely TERRIBLE!
We are going to mop the floor with them.
And for an extra $2 you can play the second half.
Some people are not meant to be HCs. Sadly, looking like Kenny is one of them.
What happened to UL’s big that played for against UK in Canada? Is he still on the team ?Boxscore:

I swear it’s almost as if KP is suffering from some type of dementia or something. And I don’t say that to make light of dementia at all. But some of the stuff he has said the last two years… actually like 90% of it… is just straight bizarre. For that reason alone I would not want him back at UK. Like, there is excuse making and then there is just downright tone-deaf, denial and ineptitude.
For that last comment is why Cal would bring him back. If he is struggling, Cal will keep him around for a few more years until retirement.
But how could he have carried out our secret mission to destroy Louisville basketball for good, if that happened?
