Yahoo’s Pat Forde reported on Tuesday that there was growing speculation that Mack’s time at Louisville could be nearing the buzzer and it proved to be true on Wednesday.

Mack’s Louisville teams were 68-37 with one NCAA Tournament appearance. Last year, the Cardinals finished the pandemic-shortened season with a 13-7 record. Currently, Louisville is 11-9 on the season.
