DOMINANT: Louisville DEMOLISHES Memphis behind three-point shooting & SUPERB bench production

Six Cardinals scored in double digits as Ryan Conwell, Mikel Brown Jr., and Khani Rooths powered an electric offense, shooting 56% from the field and 51% from deep. The team’s balanced attack kept Memphis outmatched, but the real story might be Louisville’s depth: Khani Rooths, Adrian Wooley, and Kasean Pryor delivered game-changing minutes, sparking a surge that sealed a dominant 99-73 win. Dalton Pence breaks down Louisville’s victory, exploring key individual performances, top plays, and the impact of bench strength on tournament prospects. Analysis highlights Louisville’s improved shot selection, defensive resilience against Memphis’s size advantage, and the emerging star power in the rotation.

ANY TEAM, ANYTIME: Jeff Brohm & Louisville Cardinals schedule Ole Miss in neutral-site SEASON OPENER
Louisville Cardinals shake up their 2025 football opener, swapping the marquee Georgia series for a high-stakes matchup against Ole Miss in Nashville. Can Jeff Brohm’s “any team, anytime, any place” mantra keep Louisville in the national spotlight despite losing a lucrative home game? Dalton Pence breaks down how the SEC schedule overhaul forced this pivot, what it means for Louisville’s revenue and fan atmosphere, and why the neutral-site clash could bring its own set of challenges. The conversation shifts to Louisville’s offseason priorities as Dalton answers burning mailbag questions about the quarterback hunt in the transfer portal—will the Cardinals pursue a dual-threat QB or stick with proven pocket passers? Key roster needs include bolstering the interior defensive line and finding a true WR1 to replace departing playmakers. With significant roster turnover looming and fresh storylines for the 2026 season, the Cardinals’ transfer strategy and schedule moves raise critical questions about their ACC and national ambitions.
