This year's Louisville team has really put the "dirty" back into "dirty Cards" (as illustrated in both the UK game and their game tonight against Villanova).  Although I have great memories of Pitino's UK days, I was a bit on the young side, and therefore a bit oblivious to the finer points of the style/strategies being played.  My question is, were Pitino's Kentucky teams known for playing as dirty as we have seen the Cardinals play this year, or is it just a by-product of the fact that they are so soft and desperate that they have no choice but to resort to these tactics in order to even keep games close?  I understand that most of the responses will be tinted by blue-colored glasses, but I'd still like to know the "older crowd's" take on it.
