The frisbee-catching dog brought in for halftime entertainment could have wanted to provide some commentary on the Louisville men’s basketball team’s season by pooping on the court.
The talented pooch, in a video posted to social media, selected to pop a squat on its way off the hardwood throughout the Cardinals’ eventual 71-54 loss to Virginia Tech at KFC Yum! Center on Tuesday night.
Within the video you possibly can hear an audible groan from the fans because the dog decided to handle its business.
Its trainer then rushed out to cope with the situation and take the K-9 off the court. There was even a smattering of claps afterward.
The incident happened during what has been an especially difficult season for the Cardinals under first-year head coach Kenny Payne – who got here over for Tom Thibodeau’s Knicks staff to take the helm of his alma mater.
Louisville is an abysmal 4-26 and 2-17 within the ACC, adequate for considered one of the worst records within the country. It’s lone conference wins have come over Clemson and Georgia Tech.
Barring a miracle, it will mark the programs first time with a single-digit win total for the reason that 1941-1942 season.
Louisville’s struggles began well before Payne took over.
The Cardinals posted back-to-back 13 wins season and saw coach Chris Mack fired after a 6-8 start last yr.
The last time they made the NCAA Tournament was in 2019, and so they last won a game within the Big Dance in 2017.
Payne, a former 76er, has been coaching since 2004 with stops as an assistant at Oregon and Kentucky before being an assistant for the Knicks from 2020-22.
He won the 1986 national champions with Louisville as a player and appears to have a protracted road ahead of him to get the Cardinals back from being punchline to a title contender again.
