2020-21 LCPT Quarterfinals: Dino Gaudio vs. Matthew Hurt

In my estimation, this probably should have been the championship.

DINO GAUDIO

RAP SHEET:

—Was the top assistant for a Louisville men’s basketball team that limped to the finish line and missed the NCAA tournament.

—When fired after the season, he threatened to expose minor violations within the program if he wasn’t paid more than a year’s worth of salary.

—Pleaded guilty to a federal charge of attempted extortion on June 4 and will be sentenced on Aug. 27.

RAP SHEET:

—Scored approximately 9 billion points on 99.9% shooting in three games against Louisville.

—Dropped 20 in a 70-56 ACC tournament second round win that ultimately sealed Louisville’s fate as the first team left out of the NCAA tournament.

—Looks precisely like a Duke villain that a billion dollar lab would produce.

In 24 hours, one moves on.
