Louisville plans to fire men's basketball coach Kenny Payne after he went 12-52 in two seasons. That's according to a person with direct knowledge of the situation who spoke to The Associated Press late Tuesday night. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because Louisville officials had not yet met with Payne.

North Carolina State won 94-85 to advance.
Payne said, “We sort of forgot that” several times and added, “We talked about, I gave a specific time. I said three or four years. And I’m good with it. That’s what I believed at that time, and that’s what I still believe it takes to fix this program.” The Mississippi native was hired amid a public appeal for him to return to the Cardinals after the firing of Chris Mack. Payne was a 1,000-point scorer while playing under Hall of Fame coach Denny Crum from 1985-89.
Payne’s experience as a recruiter and developer of post players didn’t serve him in his first head coaching job. Louisville began 0-9 on the way to an historic 4-28 finish last season, a program high for losses.
