Subject: Some injured Louisville players having some pricey fun in Vegas?

What happens in Vegas doesn't always stay in Vegas. Ask the University of Louisville men's basketball team.

On Friday, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported that U of L assistant coach Walter McCarty and "members of the basketball team" were seen taking shots of Patron tequila at the nightclub LAX after the Cardinals' win over Nevada-Las Vegas on Wednesday night.

The article involved senior forward Juan Palacios and a likely reference to senior center David Padgett, both of whom are of age and rehabbing injures that kept them out of the game against UNLV.

On Sunday, the newspaper reported that U of L spokesman Kenny Klein denied that any players were at the nightclub.

A Review-Journal gossip column called Vegas Confidential, written by Norm Clarke, had this to say:

"Our sources say McCarty and Palacios were in the LAX nightclub's VIP section early Thursday with several male friends, including a young white man who appeared to be a seven-footer," the story said. "A bottle of $400 Patron was charged to Eric Scott's credit card, I'm told, and a bottle of Veuve Clicquot, which goes for about $300, was paid for in cash."

Scott is U of L's director of basketball operations and the brother of junior guard Will Scott.

The article is accompanied by a photo of Palacios that it says is from Wednesday night at LAX and was posted on a nightclub Web site, Napkinnights.com.

Klein told The Courier-Journal yesterday that Palacios was indeed at the club. But he said Palacios, 22, was under different curfew restrictions than the rest of the players because he is injured and inactive. Palacios injured his right knee in preseason practice and has not played this season.

Klein also said Palacios is very religious and doesn't drink alcohol. Klein said Palacios told him he was not drinking at LAX.

Klein said he wasn't sure if Padgett, 22, was at LAX that night. Padgett was injured against Jackson State on Nov. 18.
