At UK’s public practice Sunday night, the Cats stepped on the Cardinals.
The Louisville Cardinals logo marks half-court at Freedom Hall where UK will take on UNC Asheville Monday night.
When Patrick Patterson came out, he sort of stomped on the logo.
DeMarcus Cousins and Josh Harrellson stood on either side of the logo, jumped and came down on the logo in a more elaborate sort of stomp.
John Wall and Eric Bledsoe seemed eager to follow suit until an assistant coach stopped them.
The practice itself was more of a light workout that followed about 30 minutes of pictures and autographs.
Absent were Daniel Orton and DeAndre Liggins. Coach John Calipari said the two had Monday morning classes and he didn’t want them traveling to Louisville, returning to Lexington for class and returning to Louisville for Monday night’s game.
