VERY BAD NEWS: Louisville Guard Curtis Williams Angry and Announced resignation and Departure immediately today….

Louisville basketball fans are still celebrating Oakland’s upset of Kentucky, despite the Golden Grizzlies’ run coming to an end in the second round.

The first real shock of March Madness came in the first round when Oakland topped the third-seeded Wildcats in an 80-76 victory behind Jack Gohlke’s career-high 32 points last week

The initial response from Oakland fans was what one would expect, but according to head coach Greg Kampe, Cardinals fans couldn’t help but revel in the defeat of their biggest rival.

We also sold $8,000 worth of t-shirts to Louisville last night,” Kampe said a day after advancing to the second round.

“So I don’t know, next year when Louisville and Kentucky play, I don’t know everybody’s gonna show up in an Oakland shirt or what.”

Earlier this month, the University of Louisville moved on from head coach Kenny Payne, who won a national championship with the school as a player in 1986, after two disastrous seasons and a 12-52 record.

This year because of our story he doubled the amount. Truly the definition of March Madness.”

Louisville celebrating Oakland’s victory comes amid a turbulent year for the Cardinals’ basketball program.

The decision came just one day after Payne suggested that he did not have the proper support following a first-round loss to North Carolina State in the Atlantic Coast Conference Tournament.
