In this story:


LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Year one under head coach Pat Kelsey was a successful venture for the Louisville men's basketball program. While the Cardinals were bounced in the first round of the NCAA Tournament, they still finished the year at 27-8 overall - winning more games than over the previous three seasons combined.

But now, it's roster construction season. Louisville lost two players to the portal while it was open, but have landed three transfers. They also have a pair of commitments in their Class of 2025, leaving them with three open scholarship spots to fill. Since most 2025 prospects are already committed and/or signed elsewhere, Kelsey will likely have to fill most of the remaining open scholarships via the portal.
