We take a look at five different reactions from a few former Louisville basketball players and one current Heisman Trophy winner.

The Louisville basketball team picked up a huge upset win over the sixth ranked Kentucky Wildcats on Wednesday night. It was a win that took everything they had, but ultimately the Cards will be moving on as the best basketball team in the state this season.

With that being said, let’s take a look at some former and current Cardinals reacting to the win over the Wildcats:

Former Louisville Basketball Player: Damion Lee

It sure does feel good to know that graduate-transfer Damion Lee is still cheering on his Cardinals. He had the opportunity to hit the game-winning three against Kentucky last season, but wasn’t able to get it to go in.

It wasn’t exactly the best game played by Louisville in 2015, but they were able to comeback from a huge deficit.

I was really concerned that this year’s team was going to miss his shooting in a huge way, but it looks like they are continually playing and getting better across the board.

Not to mention, their great defense will force teams to play low scoring contests every week.
