Louisville Cardinals 2021: News, Schedule, Roster, Scores, Injury Report

The Louisville Cardinals compete in NCAA Men's Basketball as a part of the Atlantic Coast Conference. Some notable opponent teams from the conference are Duke, Florida State, Virginia, and North Carolina. They were founded in 1911.

They were named the Cardinals in the early 1910s, as a tribute to the state bird of Kentucky, the northern cardinal.

Their first logo was a cardinal in a Louisville football jersey. Later it was dropped and only the face of the cardinal remained and an extended wing on which the name of the college was written. Then in 2013, it was changed once more, and only the face of the cardinal was retained.

Tyra is a Louisville native, who played baseball for Louisville's rivals, Kentucky. Tyra's father, Charlie Tyra, is regarded as one of the best baseball players of the Cardinals program.

Achievements and Championships

The 1980s was the most successful period for the Louisville Cardinals. They had four Finals Four appearances in the NCAA tournament, including two wins.

Despite being in a conference dominated by two of the most successful programs in UNC and Duke, Louisville has won an impressive 21 ACC regular-season championships.

They have won two NCAA Division 1 title so far, with their victories coming in 1980 and 1986.

Greatest NBA Players
