Personal: Born Sept. 26, 1990 ... Son of Dan and Joyce Van

Treese .... Has an older (Nathan) and younger (Jordan) brother ... Has earned a degree is sport administration and will likely be in graduate school this season.

Personal goal at UofL is to graduate and win another NCAA Championship.

Enjoys fishing, boating, riding ATVs, and playing X-box in his spare time.

Chose to attend UofL because “it is close to home and I wanted to play for Coach Pitino, at a great program and with the best fans in the country.”

Best basketball advice given to him was “hard work beats talent when talent isn’t working hard.”

Most proud of his family. His father has had the greatest influence on his athletic

career. Feels Vince Vaughn would be the best actor to play him

in a movie. When he played basketball as a kid, he pretended he

was Rik Smits. Wanted to wear No. 44 because “it has been my num-

ber all of my life.” If you walked into his dorm room, the first thing you

would notice is his television and X-box. Best thing about being a Cardinal is “we are all like a

family. We all support one another.” What impresses him the most about Coach Pitino: his

work ethic and passion for the game. Would most like to meet Peyton Manning.

The University of Louisville’s athletic symbol, chosen sometime after 1913, is a Cardinal.

The Cardinal bird was chosen to give UofL statewide identification, since the Cardinal is the state bird of Kentucky. The school colors — cardinal red and black — were adopted at the suggestion of Mrs. John L. Patterson. In printing terms, the UofL color for red is PMS 485. All of the University of Louisville’s present logos are trade marked.
