Nature Called for Dog at Halftime of Louisville MBB Game

A frisbee-catching dog brought in for the halftime entertainment of Tuesday’s Louisville vs. Virginia Tech men’s basketball game seemed to display a rather crude sense of humor in the middle of the show. 

As the pup ran around the floor, delighting fans with its talent, nature called. The dog popped a squat just inside the three-point arc and did its business right on the hardwood.

Fans quickly realized what was about to happen as the pooch assumed the position and let out a loud gasp that was picked up on video of the unfortunate incident. The dog’s trainer was too late to react, but eventually scooped the entertainer off the floor and away from the court.

Though the dog may not have been aware of its sense of comedic timing, fans were quick to point out that the animal’s actions were rather representative of the performance by Kenny Payne’s Louisville team this season. The Cardinals dropped to 4–26 on the year and 2–17 in the ACC with a 71–54 loss to the Hokies on Tuesday, making for one of the worst performances in the country among Division I teams this year. 

Louisville will close out a season to forget on Saturday on the road against No. 13 UVA.
