LEXINGTON, Ky. (WDRB) — A half dozen empty bottles of water and energy drinks surrounded the chair where Chucky Hepburn sat in the University of Louisville locker room at Rupp Arena. When you grind for 39 minutes and 23 seconds, more playing time than any teammate, there’s plenty of fluid to replace.

But there was no greater evidence of the incessant 35-game, 10-month investment Hepburn made in bringing the Louisville basketball program back to…

LEXINGTON, Ky. (WDRB) — Buried in the four-day uproar over the 8-seed that the NCAA Tournament Selection Committee hung on the University of Louisville men’s basketball team was this inarguable critical nugget: Creighton deserved more than a No. 9 seed. Pat Kelsey and the Cardinals discovered that stinging reality early and often Thursday afternoon at Rupp Arena.

While most town commissioners voted for the proposed plan, neighbors still left feeling unheard — even after representatives from Birkdale’s management firm answered their concerns during Tuesday night’s meeting. “I was just on Sam Furr Road today… It’s packed,” one woman said. “So I ask if we already have pedestrian-friendly hotels approved for the area serving visitors without adding congestion in or parking string in Birkdale Village.
