Louisville Basketball: Rick Pitino Reacts To The Tony Hicks' Injury

We take a look at what Louisville basketball head coach Rick Pitino had to say after another injury to one of his point guards.

Things were looking up after the Louisville basketball team’s 55-point win over Pittsburgh on Wednesday night, but news broke today that Tony Hicks broke a bone in his hand. This injury will keep him out for, reportedly, six to eight weeks.

That’s a crushing blow to a team that has already been playing without their starting point guard, Quentin Snider.

Take a look at what ESPN had to say about Hicks’ injury and what Rick Pitino had to say about it as well:

Pitino also mentioned in ESPN’s article that he would be relying on David Levitch and Ryan McMahon until Quentin Snider can get back on the floor.
