Tonight I may wake up in a cold sweat screaming “REBOUND!” Louisville was out rebounded today 42 to 34 with Duke having 19 offensive rebounds. Every time the Cards would force a bad shot it was nullified by the fact that the Blue Devils would grab the rebound. Duke only shot 39% for the game. […]
Let’s cut down some nets. Go Cards.
The bracket is set for next weeks ACC men’s basketball tournament in Charlotte. Louisville will be the No. 6 seed and will open play on Wednesday at (approximately) 2:30 p.m. against the winner of Tuesday’s game between 11-seed SMU and 14-seed Syracuse. Should the Cards advance to Thursday, they would face third-seeded Miami at 2:30 […]
It was a game of runs. Both teams would go stretches without scoring. Louisville started the game 9 of 16 and finished the half 2 of 11 from the field. North Carolina took the lead in the third quarter but then the Cardinal defense seemed to lock in. Louisville took a 45-40 lead at the […]
Caveat Emptor: Your venerable Cardinal chronicler takes no responsibility if what you read makes zero sense, nor for any of the typos which may be contained herein. My fingers have the hippy hippy shakes. I have skipped a light fandango, turned cartwheels ‘cross the floor to get to my keyboard. I am exhausted. I am […]
For the first time since Jan. 18, 2020, Louisville just beat a top 25 opponent on the road. For the first time in the 2025-26 season, Louisville just knocked off a top 30 NET team away from home. For the first time in the 2025-26 season and just the second time under Pat Kelsey, Louisville […]
Another effort like Friday’s will do just fine. Go Cards.
It would be awfully fun to have some serious momentum and optimism heading into the postseason. Let’s make it happen. Go Cards.

Let March Madness begin! Louisville has notched their first post-season victory in the ACC Tournament against Syracuse. The Orange were a little short-handed after star guard Dominique Darius got injured in the game against Cal the night before and their high scorer in tonight’s game, Uche Izoje, going down in the fourth quarter of this […]

Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m. ET, with the nationally televised matchup airing on ABC. The Labor Day […]
As upper echelon college hoops coaches go, Bill Self is relatively mild mannered. So I was drawn to the reports the other morning that he’d been tossed from the Jayhawks’ loss night before. In the first half. The foul call against his part time frosh superstar was truly horrible. It is universally believed by all […]
Just how special is the relationship between Louisville and “The Revivalists” team? Just look at Reyne Smith. Smith, the outside assassin who helped spearhead Louisville’s 27-win season a year ago, was back inside the KFC Yum Center Tuesday night for the first time since his Senior Night game. He sat courtside as the Cards toppled […]
From U of L: Louisville women’s basketball sophomore guard Imari Berry was named ACC Sixth Player of the Year, the conference announced Tuesday evening. She becomes the second Louisville player to be named ACC Sixth Player of the Year after Dana Evans claimed the honor in the 2018-19 season. Berry was one of three Louisville players that […]
There have been some scintillating encounters among the now 35 times Louisville and Syracuse have met. That harbinger of a championship on the horizon in January of ’86. When the alleged juggernaut Orange led by Pearl Washington and Rony Seikaly were ranked #4 in the land but shuffled out of an electric Freedom Hall on […]
In its final home game of the regular season, Louisville got a much-needed victory over Syracuse, handling the Orange with relative ease, 77-62. The senior trio of Ryan Conwell (23 points, 7 rebounds), J’Vonne Hadley (19 points on 7-of-9 shooting) and Isaac McKneely (16 points) led the way for the Cards. U of L saved […]

We’re back to discuss the state of the Louisville men’s basketball program entering March, which is … less than ideal. Direct link here.
For the first time this season, Louisville has fallen out of both the AP top 25 poll and the coaches poll. The good news? With Miami entering the rankings at No. 22, the Cards have one last chance to break their six-year road losing streak against top 25 opponents. So that’s a good thing, right? […]
The primary takeaways: —Film showed the team made a lot of undisciplined mistakes at the start of the second half of the Clemson game. —Mikel’s status for Tuesday’s game is unknown. He needs to fall less, but he also deserves to get more calls than he does. —It’s too late in the season to make […]
My name is Seedy K and I’m a hoopaholic. A lifelong Louisville Cardinals diehard hoopaholic. With an opinion. Or ten. All of which kicked in this morning, which is why I needed to share here at Hoopaholic’s Anonymous. This morning at theathletic.com, b-ball scribe Scott Dochterman ranked the Top 50 rivalries in college basketball. U […]
