The Louisville Cardinals, coming off a disappointing season, prepare for the upcoming college basketball season under head coach Pat Kelsey. Louisville recorded a 24-12 mark last year, finishing second in the ACC despite injuries limiting star guard Mikel Brown to just 21 games. Kelsey aims to improve the team's performance with a mix of returning players, key transfers, and promising freshmen.
