Louisville’s Kenny Payne is asked if it is possible to turn this program around
Louisville’s Kenny Payne is asked if it is possible to turn this program around or if this is as close as it is going to get.
Some were disappointed; others were pissed.
That’s how Louisville men’s basketball associate head coach Danny Manning described the scene in the Cardinals’ locker room after they lost Wednesday night at Syracuse, 94-92, on a goaltending call in the final seconds.
What’s most important now is how U of L (7-16, 2-10 ACC) responds tonight against Georgia Tech (10-13, 3-9) at the KFC Yum! Center.

To avoid squandering its first game against a fellow conference bottom dweller, Kenny Payne’s team is going to need to step it up defensively.
That seems unlikely at this juncture of the season, with the Cards entering the weekend ranked 232nd in the country on KenPom.com in terms of points allowed per 100 possessions (108.7). But it’s the only thing holding back an offense that has scored 90 or more points in back-to-back games for the first time since 2014.
The Yellow Jackets come to town on a two-game losing streak. They’ve lost five of their past six but have beaten some of the ACC’s best this season: Duke, Clemson and North Carolina.
Most recently, first-year head coach Damon Stoudamire’s team lost by 29 points to Wake Forest at home Tuesday.
“Not really concerned about Louisville,” Stoudamire said Friday. “(I’m) concerning myself with my own team. We got to lose ourselves in what Georgia Tech basketball is, what I want it to be and a standard that has to be set.”
Here’s what you need to know to follow along from home:
Louisville basketball vs. Georgia Tech start time
U of L and Georgia Tech are scheduled to tip off at 6:30 p.m. Saturday at the Yum! Center.

Arizona alum Damon Stoudamire out as Georgia Tech’s head coach
Georgia Tech made the decision Sunday to fire Stoudamire, one day after the Yellow Jackets finished the regular season with an 11-20 record and a 2-16 mark in the ACC. Greg Gary will serve as interim coach. Georgia Tech, which finished last in the ACC, did not qualify for the league tournament.
Georgia Tech owes Stoudamire $2.6 million over the next two years, ESPN reported.
The Yellow Jackets showed promise in Stoudamire’s first two seasons. Georgia Tech finished 14-18 in 2023-24, highlighted by a win over Duke. In 2024-25 the Yellow Jackets went 17-17 and made the first round of the NIT.
Georgia Tech was a disaster this season, however, losing its last 12 games.
Stoudamire was hired by Georgia Tech while serving as an assistant on the Boston Celtics staff. Prior to that, he spent five years as head coach at Pacific, where he went 71-77. Stoudamire previously served as an assistant at Memphis and Arizona.
He is the second ex-UA player that Georgia Tech fired as its basketball coach. Josh Pastner, now at UNLV, went 109-114 in Atlanta from 2016-23.
In 2021 Arizona interviewed Stoudamire for the Wildcats head coaching job. The UA hired Gonzaga assistant Tommy Lloyd instead.
Stoudamire played four seasons at Arizona (1991-95), taking the Wildcats to the 1993-94 Final Four and earning First-Team All-American honors the following year as a senior.

Georgia is No. 1 state for business, but can workers afford to live here?
While most states’ minimum wage rates exceed federal law, the Peach State has fallen behind.

Georgia proudly claims the title of No. 1 state for business for the 12th year running. But if Georgia is such a great place to do business, why are so many of its workers struggling to get by?
On January 1, 2026, 19 states raised their minimum wage rates. California went to $16.90. New York City hit $17. Georgia? Georgia kept its state minimum wage right where it’s been for decades: $5.15 an hour.

Georgia basketball rises in latest NCAA Tournament projections
An updated version of ESPN’s bracketology for the NCAA Tournament has been released, per Joe Lunardi.
Georgia is currently listed as a 8 seed in the NCAA Tournament. The Dawgs have been red hot as of late, as Georgia was able to defeat No. 16 Alabama in Athens in what was a massive upset. Star sophomore Kanon Catchings was great in the win over the Tide, as the talented forward recorded an extremely impressive 32 points.
Georgia currently holds an overall record of 21-9 with just one game on the regular season schedule remaining. The Dawgs could make a run in both the SEC and NCAA Tournament later this month, as Georgia finds themselves listed as a No. 8 seed in March Madness projections following the upset over Alabama. Georgia is projected to play No. 9 seed NC State in the San Diego region with the winner likely playing No. 1 seeded Arizona.
The Dawgs will face Mississippi State on the road in Starkville on Saturday afternoon, as Georgia is widely considered to be a lock for the NCAA Tournament following an impressive string of victories throughout the second half of SEC play.
Georgia’s win over Alabama improved their SEC record to 9-8, as the Dawgs will look to end the regular season on an authoritative note against the other Bulldogs.
