2026 Tournament PreviewThe Pat Kelsey rebuild took another step this season, as a tougher non-conference schedule and eight Quad 1 wins vaulted Louisville to a six seed in the NCAA Tournament, its highest in nearly a decade. The Cardinals rank 20th nationally in offensive efficiency (per KenPom) thanks to skilled shooting. A deep bench of three-point marksmen has attempted the fourth-most threes in the nation (32.3 per game), hitting 35.7 percent (76th). They're even better inside the arc, converting 59.7 percent (9th). Xavier transfer Ryan Conwell (18.7 ppg, 4.8 rpg) has knocked down more than 100 three-pointers at 34.2 percent to lead a rotation that runs nine deep and forming one of the nation's best backcourts with future NBA first-rounder Mikel Brown (18.2 ppg, 4.7 apg). Brown, though, is uncertain for Louisville's tournament opener with a back injury. He missed eight games earlier this season and then sat out the last four games after the injury popped up again. His health is paramount for the Cardinals to reach their ceiling.
