Game was 70-69 Louisville, and they finished on a 13-1 run. Cards improve to 9-5. 

Pretty decent start to 2025 for Pat Kelsey and the Cards.

Cards overcome a lack of depth and bad free throw shooting in the second half to top the Heels.   Big win for Louisville.  North Carolina may have been a little over rated to start the year, but they are still a decent team and Louisville found a way to win.

 

Chucky led the Cards with 26

That's a real shame. 

Nice win Cards! I’m happy we got Kelsey and I believe that the future is bright under him. 

Another very winnable game coming up Saturday at Virginia.

The combined record of the five teams Louisville has lost to is 59-6…

And they've played the 10th hardest (RPI) schedule.

Pretty incredible, tbh. 

If they even sniff the tournament given the circumstances, PK should be Coach of the Year.

Joe Lunardi currently has them in the "Next Four Out", which, of course, means absolutely nothing.

I completely agree and I think their chances aren’t as far out as I thought earlier on.
