BR-14 Kentucky beat BR-10 Louisville 75-73 in an emotional rivalry game in Rupp Arena this Saturday. The Cardinals were down as many as 16 in the second half before roaring back to within two — they even had a shot to win or tie with the last possession, but failed to get off a final shot.
Both coaches were assessed a technical foul in an obviously high-stress rivalry game, but it appears Louisville coach Rick Pitino let his emotions (and the Kentucky crowd) get the better of him. Twitter user @Fine_and_Tandy caught the Cardinal coach flipping off the coach as he walked to the locker room.
