A few Louisville players were particularly intrigued with a cheat sheet used by the Cameron Crazies prior to the Cardinals’ game against Duke on Wednesday night.
Duke’s Cameron Indoor Stadium is known as a hostile environment for opposing teams. The student section — the Cameron Crazies — takes their jobs of rattling opponents seriously. They prepare cheat sheets featuring notes the students can use as the subject of their taunts towards opponents. Combine that with the recent news regarding Louisville’s men’s basketball program, and the Cameron Crazies had plenty of ammunition to use.
Prior to the game, a few Louisville players headed over to the Crazies to see the notes and were quite amused. The video contains some explicit language.
#Louisville guys came back over to inspect the Crazies’ sheet here at #Duke.
The guys are asked “How crazy is it that (Rick) Pitino got a tattoo of the 2013 National Championship?” as “SCANDAL SCHOOL” is chanted.

Coach K apparently told the Cameron Crazies to “take it easy” on Louisville regarding the scandal surrounding the program.
“Coach K has asked us to take it easy on them for the FBI scandal, and we respect the GOAT’s wishes.
That said, this is a photo of Rick Pitino w/ his tattoo OF THE 2013 NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP.”Guess it’s pick your poison night for the Cameron Crazies.#Duke #Louisville #wral pic.twitter.com/ACYJvscgl2

It seems like the fans didn’t even need their taunts as Duke blew out Louisville 82-56.
