Buckle up.

Louisville men's basketball plays Pepperdine this afternoon; and head coach Kenny Payne will be on the Cardinals' bench at the KFC Yum! Center with Friday's report from CBS Sports' Matt Norlander saying the expectation is for athletics director Josh Heird to fire him "sooner rather than later" serving as a backdrop.

Will his team play inspired to help him surpass last season's win total? Or will the outside noise exacerbate the errors that led to the 21st double-digit loss of his tenure Wednesday at the hands of Arkansas State?

We're about to find out. And, by the way, the Waves were picked to finish seventh in the West Coast Conference but entered the weekend 192nd, 13 spots ahead of U of L, on statistician Ken Pomeroy's adjusted efficiency rankings.
