Louisville basketball's senior day will be emotional for Reyne Smith, the only player to spend four years with Pat Kelsey. How their bond was formed.
Most recently, the Louisville men's basketball program was able to take down Virginia Tech 71-66 in their final road game of the year. With the calendar flipping to March, they are now set to kick off a three-game home stand to wrap up the regular season.
After getting off to an extremely fast start at Virginia Tech, the Louisville men's basketball program had to hold on for dear life to get to the finish line. However, they did still get there, leaving Cassell Coliseum with a 71-66 win.
The Cardinals won nine ACC road games, which has only been done three other times since the conference moved to 18 games in 2012-13 and 20 in 2019-20.
After finishing last in the ACC the past two seasons, the Louisville men's basketball team is 13-2 in the league and tied with Clemson for second in the conference.
The Cardinals are nearing a program record for most ACC wins all because coach Pat Kelsey believed in his players and believed in the process.
Squaring off with Notre Dame, the Cardinals were able to pull away late and extend their win streak to four, taking down the Fighting Irish 75-60 on Sunday. The victory in South Bend gives them their 20th win of the year, and their first 20-win season in five years.
