Some quick thoughts about Louisville's exhibition loss, Kenny Payne's postgame response, and why the program reminds me of Kevin Stallings-era Pittsburgh (hint: not a good thing). https://t.co/3CKeaN98T1

“The disconnect is understanding fully how hard that you gotta practice, how hard you gotta play, how desperate you have to be defensively.” —Louisville head coach Kenny Payne after his team’s loss to DII Kentucky Wesleyan 🎥: @MasonHorodyski https://t.co/7XRmIxpmjW
"We can't beat teams with talent. We're never going to be the most talented team. We can beat them with fight." Full quote from #Louisville head coach Kenny Payne on finding the disconnect with his team after losing to D2 Kentucky Wesleyan #ForTheVille @WHAS11 https://t.co/RGO9y6M3oX
Hold up, what now? Been making last-minute kid Halloween costume alterations and Louisville did what, exactly? Against whom? So a year after losing an exhibition to a D2 team, the Cards lose another exhibition to a D2 team? Kenny Payne starting Year 2 on with a preheated seat.

Louisville might be in for an even longer season than last year. Exhibitions don't mean anything, but losing to Kentucky Wesleyan isn't really how you want to head into the first game.
FINAL: #Louisville 68, Kentucky, Wesleyan 71 For the 2nd straight season, the Cards lose an exhibition game at home to a D2 team.
That's it, Louisville falls at home to Kentucky Wesleyan 71-68. Just 16 made baskets for Louisville.
In hindsight, maybe leaving D-2 schools out of this was a mistake. Kentucky Wesleyan goes to Louisville and wins an exhibition game, 69-68, over the Cardinals. In case you were curious about contract details for Kenny Payne ⬇️ https://t.co/X5P4n1Z10T
