2025 Tournament PreviewAfter two horrendous seasons as ACC bottom-feeders, Pat Kelsey came to town from Charleston and immediately revitalized the entire Louisville program. Not only will the Cardinals return to the NCAA Tournament, but they finished the regular season just a game behind Duke for the ACC title while picking up four Quad 1 wins and nine of the Quad 2 variety along the way. Kelsey took what was essentially an empty roster and rebuilt it with upperclassmen from the transfer portal to see immediate results. No pickup was more important that point guard and All-American candidate Chucky Hepburn (16.3 ppg, 5.9 apg, 3.5 rpg), who arrived after three seasons at Wisconsin and is posting career-highs in just about every counting stat. He leads a group of four double-digit scorers and locks things down defensively for a top-20 defense (per KenPom). Louisville is hot, with a 19-2 run to finish the regular season, but the strength of the ACC schedule on the whole represents the biggest question mark as to how far this team might go.
