< PreviousB asketball is special to Kentuckians. The sport permeates everyday life from offices to farm- lands, from coal mines to neighborhood drug stores. It is more than just a sport played in the cold winter months. It is a source of pride filled year-round with anticipation, hope and celebra- tion. Kentuckians love their basketball, and the tradition-rich University of Louisville program has supplied its fans with one of the nation’s finest products for decades. Legendary coach Bernard “Peck” Hickman, a Basketball Hall of Fame nominee, arrived on the UofL campus in 1944 to begin a remarkable string of 46 consecutive winning seasons. For 23 seasons, Hickman laid an impressive foundation for UofL. John Dromo, an assistant coach under Hick- man for 19 years, continued the Louisville pro- gram in outstanding fashion following Hickman’s retirement. For 30 years, Denny Crum followed the same path of success that Hickman and Dromo both walked, guiding the Cardinals to even higher acclaim. Coach Rick Pitino energized a re-emergence in building upon the rich UofL tradition in his 16 years, guiding the Cardinals to impressive results on the court. Chris Mack coached UofL for three years followed by Cardinal Forever, national champion Kenny Payne for two. On March 28, 2024, the Pat Kelsey era began in The Ville and he posted a 27-8 first-year record. Among the Cardinals’ past successes include national championships in the NCAA (1980,1986), NIT (1956) and the NAIB (1948). UofL is the only school in the nation to have claimed the championship in all three major tournaments. The Cardinals have appeared in the NCAA tour- nament on 40 occasions, which places UofL eighth in all-time NCAA Tournament appearances despite four successful vacated seasons. Louisville has played in the Final Four eight times, including four times in the 1980s. Only seven schools — North Carolina, UCLA, Ken- tucky, Duke, Kansas, Ohio State and Michigan State have reached the Final Four more often. Louisville was arguably the most dominant team in college basketball during the decade of the 1980s. Evidence of that claim is simple; during the decade of the 80s, the Cardinals won two national championships (equalled only by Indiana); sent an unmatched four teams to the Final Four; appeared among the final 16 teams seven times (bettered only by North Carolina’s nine times); and posted the highest NCAA Tour- nament winning percentage of any other team (.793, 23-6). Tremendous pride is taken in the tradition established at the University of Louisville. Stu- dent-athletes who attend UofL follow in the footsteps of some of college basketball’s all-time greats. These athletes must be willing to give of themselves, just as former UofL stars did, to maintain UofL as one of the nations’ top pro- grams. It is more than the Wes Unseld’s, Darrell Griffith’s and Pervis Ellison’s of the UofL world. It’s the teamwork of those with the Tim Hender- son’s, Roger Burkman’s and Derwin Webb’s on the Cardinal rosters that blend into one team, one unit, to achieve a common goal. It is a commit- ment that has been worthwhile for decades. Members of the 2004-05 team gather at a basketball game in 2025 to honor their Final Four run.

He is one of only three players at UofL to score 2,000 points in his ca- reer. A consensus All-American in 1989, “Never Nervous Pervis” was named MVP of the 1989 Metro Conference Tournament, an award he also won as a freshman. The all-time shot blocker at UofL and in the Metro Conference with 374 career rejections, Ellison blocked at least one shot in 130 of his 136 career games. He finished his career third among NCAA career leaders in blocked shots. In 1986, he led the Cardi- nals to their second NCAA Championship title and was the first freshman since 1944 to be named the Most Outstanding Player of the Final Four. The Cardinals won two regular season Metro Conference titles and three Metro tournament championships during Ellison’s career. Following his playing career at UofL, Ellison became one of the select few collegiate players and the first for the Cardinals when he was chosen as the No. 1 pick in the 1989 NBA Draft. His jersey number - 42 - was retired at ceremonies following the 1989 season.

A consensus All- American as a junior and senior, Unseld is one of only five Cardinal players to pull down over 1,000 rebounds in his career. A native of Louisville, he began his senior season with a 45-point effort against Georgetown College, a UofL single-game scoring record that stands today. Unseld was honored on the All-Missouri Valley Conference team each of his three years at UofL while leading the Cardinals to a combined 60-22 record. As a junior, he led the Cardinals to a final No. 2 ranking in both wire service polls while averaging 18.7 points and 19.0 rebounds. In his final season at UofL in 1967-68, he averaged 23.0 points and 18.3 rebounds when UofL was ninth in the final AP poll. Unseld’s 20.6 career scoring average and 18.9 career rebounding average rank as the best in Louisville history. Following his career at UofL, Unseld was chosen as the second player overall in the 1968 NBA Draft and went on to play 13 years for the Baltimore/ Capital/Washington Bullets (1968-81). He was enshrined in the Basketball Hall of Fame in 1988. Unseld passed away on June 2, 2020 at the age of 74.

He was also selected by The Sporting News for the same honor. A consensus All-American in 1980, he led Louisville to a 33-3 record and the school’s first NCAA national championship. He left UofL as the school’s career scoring leader (2,333 points); the first player in UofL history to surpass the 2,000 point mark; the school single- season scoring leader with 825 points; and the first player at Louisville to score more than 700 points in one season. He finished his collegiate career having scored in double figures in 41 straight games and 111 of his 126 games with the Cardinals. In his four seasons at UofL, he helped teams produce a combined record of 101-25; two regular season Metro Conference titles; two Metro tournament championships; four straight NCAA tournament appearances; and the 1980 NCAA Championship. His jersey number — 35 — was retired at ceremonies following the 1980 basketball season and his road uniform is on display at the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame.

Tyra was named Helms Athletic Foundation All-American in his junior and senior years. One of only five Cardinals to record over 1,000 rebounds in his career, Tyra ranks as the all-time rebounder in UofL history with 1,617. During the 1955-56 season, Tyra pulled down 645 rebounds, a mark that has been bettered by only three players in NCAA history. He set the Louisville record for most rebounds in a game when he pulled down 38 against Canisius during the 1955-56 season. In his four seasons with Louisville, he helped teams generate a combined 88-23 record and reach three straight NIT appearances. Tyra ranks fourth in career free throws made (448), second in career rebounding average (17.0), fourth in career scoring average (18.2), ninth in career scorers (1,728 points) and ninth in field goals made (640). Tyra is one of only five players in UofL history to score 40 points or more in a game (achieved against Notre Dame when he hit 12 of 16 field goals and all 16 of his free throw attempts). Tyra passed away on Dec. 29, 2006 at the age of 71.
