Our last Top 25 matchup in McCamish this season and it's College of Charleston legend Pat Kelsey's first trip to McCamish. Our team has been playing better ball lately and I don't expect them to lay down for a talented Louisville team on a 10 game winning streak. These guys are probably the second best team we've faced all season behind Duke and are really good on both sides of the ball. They don't do anything on the offensive end of the court but chuck 3s and get dunks, which are probably the two types of plays that can get crowds most fired up. Speaking of crowds, I believe UofL does a group charter bus trip every season and we seem to consistently be the lucky team to host them, so it should be a full house. The 3:45pm tip means you should have ample opportunity to get to Midtown early and get nice and lubricated while catching the 1:30/2:00 slate of ACC tip offs so we can equal out the juice their extremely excited fans bring. Be a true Jacket and welcome one of our visitors clad-in-red with a pre-game beer (or whiskey clear) at the bar if you so choose. Students should be out and about with the nice weather and a little bit of "(court)stormchasing" on the table. Anyway, the high 3 point rate means these guys pull a fair number of offensive rebounds off the large carom, and they do a pretty good job of taking care of the ball to boot. There's a reason they are Top 25 with no bad losses.

Defensively, they are again very solid forcing turnovers and owning the boards, however they are very vulnerable from 3 point land, so we will need our guards on the top of their game getting to the basket, drawing defenders, and need our wings to see a 5 foot wide basket on the kick.

Come watch Baye and Ibra Souare swat some Cards dunk attempts leading to transition dunks by Lance Terry like it's an Aidan Birr field goal attempt in the 4th quarter to make it a 2 point game (IYKYK) 😭
