Louisville 85 California 68

Terrence Edwards drops 35 as the Cards move to 24 - 6 on the season.

Edwards played a game last night undoubtedly. It’s still hard to believe that they could finish the regular season with 25 wins before conference tournament play begins after all that happened before. Go Cards!

Louisville has had a great season. I'm still not sure what their ceiling is regarding the NCAA Tournament but with a guard like Hepburn and a bunch of others that can all score, they'll be a tough out for anyone paired with them.

I agree that their ceiling is questionable. I also wouldn’t be surprised if it reaches a higher point with Hepburn and the rest of the team’s scoring potential. Even if they were to exit early, I’d be totally fine with it, which obviously I hope doesn’t happen. The accomplishments they made as a team after the dark hole they were in is still unbelievable to me. And I’m very happy with Louisville’s decision in hiring Pat Kelsey. The job he’s done has been amazing and I seriously don’t believe that many coaches could have done what he has in his short time.

Just the fact that they are now a virtual lock to make the field of 68 means they have exceeded the expectation of everyone in college basketball this season, except maybe Pat Kelsey's.

The one downer to yesterday's game.   Hope Reyne is ok for the upcoming tournies.

How many people had 20 wins on their bingo "Cards" for the 2024-25 seasons?  Let alone a shot at 25+ wins.

One more win for the Cards and they will have equaled the win total for the three previous years combined.

That is a crazy stat, and sad it got to that point - but the past is the past and is not this team's history.

Yeah Louisville Basketball has not been enjoyable for a while, so I've been loving this season, regardless of how it ends.

Kelsey has to be in the running for national COY. What a turnaround.
