Louisville Hoops: End near for Kenny Payne following 51st loss, failed recruiting ploys

Cardinal Confidential has inside scoop on Kenny Payne's last full week on the job as Louisville's basketball coach

Finally, Louisville’s dreadful 2023-24 regular season concluded Saturday night with another uninspiring loss to Boston College at the KFC Yum Center, a loss that dropped Kenny Payne to a horrifically unimaginable 12-51 record in two ugly seasons.

Now, Payne finds himself at the end of the runway with no where else to turn as the losses have mounted and last minute recruiting ploys designed to change the narrative on his impending firing have failed miserably.

Formal news from Louisville’s administration about Payne’s dismissal is expected to occur as soon as Sunday.
