HALFTIME | On the five plays Isaac Brown has touched the ball, Louisville has gained 151 yards. On the 16 he hasn't, it has 105. Late offense has Louisville up at half, but I don't think you can gloss over how they played most of the half. Stats here ...

ICYMI | On the anxiety beneath the pageantry of this Kentucky Derby, felt by workers who tend to horses before most of Louisville is awake. Many are immigrants. Many are on legal visas. All are watching the news and wondering what might happen next. www.wdrb.com/sports/kentu...

With six dunks at Virginia Tech, James Scott leaped over Pervis Ellison and Chane Behanan on Louisville's single-season dunk list. At a program that historically has celebrated the dunk more than any, only one player (Montrezl Harrell) has more dunks in a season.

One of my favorite books is William Manchester’s “The Glory and the Dream.” Here, he describes the reaction of a Republican president, Dwight Eisenhower, to Russian aggression in 1956. Much different from the present.

Tough loss for Louisville’s women. Led most of the game, going for fourth straight win over a ranked opponent, but could not get stops in the fourth quarter, when No. 9 North Carolina spread it out and started driving 1 vs. 1, scoring 29 points to come from 9 down and win 79-75
