Pat Kelsey went viral this summer when he addressed the media for the first time and sent the NCAA a statement message voicing that they aren't going to duck the smoke. Louisville basketball's 2025-26 schedule is one of the most challenging schedules in the nation, and Kelsey is making it clear he wants to have a statement season.
Kelsey loaded his schedule with legit National Title contender teams and SEC giants, while also reviving old rivalries. Louisville found out Thursday afternoon two more opponents for their non-conference schedule, and Kelesy absolutely aced these two additions.
