Love to see the coordination between Louisville and St. John's. You would think that Coach Pitino will speak during the ceremony - should be a special evening.
Rick Pitino has been formally invited by Louisville to the Kenny Klein banner event on Jan. 2 and is expected to attend along with Peyton Siva, per a Louisville spokesperson
St. John’s plays at Butler Jan. 3 so the geography works out well
NEWS: Rick Pitino tells me that he will return to the KFC Yum Center on January 2nd when Louisville honors Kenny Klein.

Is Louisville a National Championship contender?
From the first newsletter....
Louisville was +21 from three in traditional Kelsey fashion.
However that rim + three point rate being *only* 75% for Louisville is VERY different.
Rim/3PT rate last season: 92%
Rim/3PT rate year one: 90%
Small samples, weird rotation, etc but worth watching.
Will be doing some advanced box score stuff after each Louisville basketball game this season.
A newspaper style look that has a quick minimal game story, box score, rotation and lineup data, three stars, and how Louisville did against the spread.

Bill Self is 342-22 (.940 win percentage) since becoming Kansas’ Head Coach in 2003
To compare, Coach K had a win% of .884 at Cameron Indoor. Calipari a .905 win% at Rupp as the UK HC
Self at KU is THE standard in CBB. Even in an exhibition, very impressive to win at Phog Allen
Kansas is 57-7 at home since 2022.
They went 19-25 on the road during that stretch.
The 7 home losses:
TCU 83-60 (2023)
BYU 76-68 (2024)
WVU 62-61 (2025)
Houston 92-86 | 2 OT (2026)
Tex Tech 78-73 (2026)
UConn 61-56 (2026)
Cincy 84-68 (2026)
Kansas is allowing 66.5 points per game at home over that stretch
Louisville’s win over Kansas on Wednesday was KU’s first home exhibition loss since it fell 93-82 to the Australian National Team in 1993.

Dragging someone’s childhood trauma into a political ad is vile, bottom-feeder garbage. You forfeit any claim to lead the second you greenlight this kind of depravity.
