Just a day after Louisville ended its Tournament run with an Elite Eight loss to Michigan State, head coach Rick Pitino announced that the team's two leading scorers will be moving on this summer.
Pitino told reporters Monday that Montrezl Harrell and Terry Rozier will be entering their names in the 2015 NBA Draft.

"They're both leaving, yes, 100 percent," Pitino told reporters, per The Courier-Journal. "And it's the right thing to do for both of them. You all may have some doubts about Terry, but I don't."
Harrell's jump to the NBA after this season was expected, but Rozier's future seemed less clear when Louisville entered the NCAA Tournament this season. Pitino explained Rozier's reasoning further.
"Terry looks at home and sees his mom working two jobs, and she's going 16, 17 hours a day," Pitino said, according to The Courier-Journal. "And he says, 'OK, maybe I wouldn't be drafted as high as I would be if I waited one more year, but I'd rather sacrifice that for my mom not having to work two jobs.'"
Both Harrell and Rozier had impressive regular seasons at Louisville, averaging 15.7 and 17.1 points per game, respectively. Harrell nearly averaged a double-double with 9.2 rebounds per contest.
While Rozier's stock may still be uncertain in the eyes of NBA evaluators, his Tournament performance — particularly in the rebounding department — could help his case. The sophomore averaged 16.8 points, 7.5 rebounds and 4.8 assists in four Tournament games.
