LOUISVILLE, Ky. - The Louisville men's basketball suffered their first loss of the 2024-25 season and the Pat Kelsey era, getting humbled by No. 12 TennesseeHere's what head coach Pat Kelsey, guards Chucky Hepburn and guard Reyne Smith had to say following the loss:“Obviously extremely disappointed, Yum! Center was electric, we asked people to come out, they came out big. It was as elite of a college basketball atmosphere as you’re going to find anywhere.
“As I sit here looking at you guys and looking at a box scores where we just got our stinking butts kicked, and it hurts like crazy. No question, we needed that today. Josh, we were walking in talking about, he’s like ‘Man that’s a tough second game, I know I pushed for that.’, I said thank you. Thank you, that is exactly what this team needed, because the things that nailed is today were exposed today by Tennessee, and now we are going to get the chance to fix it.
“I believe in our guys. I believe in our guards. I know what they are capable of. Those guys feel terrible right now, and they’re better than how they played today. I’m better than how I coached today, but you give that kid credit. You tip your cap to big moments when we had a little bit of momentum and the YUM started rocking, he answered, even if it was a little bit of a prayer shot, at the end of the shot clock. It’s what big-time players do.
