Padgett Has Painful Start at Louisville: In first public appearance in a Louisville uniform, sophomore center David Padgett, a transfer from Kansas, injured his left knee after playing well during an intrasquad scrimmage. Padgett finished with 15 points, 14 rebounds, seven assists and one sprained left knee. The injury could keep Padgett out of action for as long as six weeks. Without Padgett, Louisville loses significant depth in the post. But the typically guard-oriented Cardinals should be able to cover up the deficiency as long as Padgett returns before Big East play hits full swing.
