Louisville Cardinals team news & key performers
Under the guidance of new coach Pat Kelsey, the Louisville Cardinals have completely overhauled their roster with no returning starters. The transfer portal was key for the Cardinals, who brought in standout players like Chucky Hepburn from Wisconsin and Aboubacar Traore from Long Beach State to bolster their backcourt. They’ve also added size with 6ft10in forward Kasean Pryor and 6ft11in sophomore forward James Scott.
In their season opener, Louisville came out strong, defeating Morehead State 93-45. Kasean Pryor posted a double-double off the bench, scoring 18 points and grabbing 12 rebounds. J’vonne Hadley, a transfer from Colorado, led the starters with 15 points, including three out of five from beyond the arc.
