Louisville basketball has one of the most challenging basketball schedules in all of college basketball next season, but there is a massive upside in that, outside of being battle-tested. Kelsey explained on Wednesday that the Cardinals' schedule is to prove to the selection committee that they are going to make a statement this upcoming season and that they want to prove they aren't afraid of anyone.
Louisville is set to play Kentucky, Tennessee, Arkansas, Baylor, Cincinnati, Memphis, Indiana, and Duke twice. This schedule is going to be challenging, and it will position them for a deep March run, but the home games will also serve as massive recruiting pitches.
