Schedule built for a special season? | 2026-27 conference schedule release + Building a PK era team with $15

State of Louisville — Fri, 11 Sep 2026 01:31:02 GMT

Louisville basketball's 2026-27 schedule is officially set — and the Starting Five02 crew breaks down the biggest games, toughest stretches and what the path could look like for Pat Kelsey's Cardinals this season. Then we're putting on our GM hats. You have $15 to build the best possible starting five from the Pat Kelsey era at Louisville. Flory Bidunga, Mikel Brown Jr., Ryan Conwell and Chucky Hepburn headline the $5 tier, with plenty of steals — and controversy - farther down the board. Jacob and Alan build their teams, debate the best values on the board and try to construct the perfect five for $15.

ALERT: Elite 5-star prospect is taking an official visit to Louisville NEXT WEEKEND

Does Louisville NEED Seth Trimble? | Eligibility Chaos, London Johnson & More

State of Louisville — Thu, 27 Aug 2026 16:49:41 GMT

The Seth Trimble saga isn't over — and Louisville's roster suddenly looks a lot different. Jacob Lane and Alan Thomas break down the latest twists in Trimble's eligibility battle and debate just how important he is to Louisville's championship ceiling. Is Trimble simply the final piece of an already-loaded roster, or do the Cards NEED him to make a legitimate run at a national title? Plus, London Johnson is officially no longer with the program. What does his departure mean for Louisville's suddenly thin backcourt, and should Pat Kelsey look to add another guard before the season? The guys also look ahead to 2027 recruiting, where Louisville has made the final seven for five-star point guard Reese Alston — the son of AND1 legend Rafer "Skip 2 My Lou" Alston.

Does Louisville need Trimble to win a national championship?
