Louisville basketball is entering the home stretch as the Cardinals have just two game remaining in the regular season.
Cardinals keep surprising all of college basketball, as UofL is now ranked the highest its been since 2019-2020 season. Pat Kelsey is in just his first season as Cardinals head coach, and he has made his mark immediately.
Cardinals have been playing at an elite level the past few months, as Cardinals have won 17 of their last 18 games and are on an seven game win streak. Louisville has secured a double-bye in the ACC Tournament, but it seems fair to think that no one in the ACC wants to meet up with the Cardinals right now.
Pat Kelsey and his squad are showing their full potential right now, and are showing just how scary they are. They are becoming legit ACC title contenders and are maybe a nightmare matchup for Duke and Clemson.
1 Question for every Louisville basketball player before ACC Tournament
Louisville basketball is playing excellent basketball, but there are always things to improve on and some questions to make sure the team carries this momentum into the postseason.
Winning in March is never a given, or is it easy, so if the Cardinals can keep this streak through ACC Tournament and into NCAA Tournament, then they could be a team that makes the Final Four. So, here is one question for every Louisville basketball rotational player as the countdown to the 2025 ACC Tournament begins.
Will Khani Rooth be in the rotation?
Khani Rooths has provided some solid minutes down the stretch, even though the stats don't show it. Head coach Pat Kelsey, has praised 6-foot-8, 205-pound freshman a lot, as Rooths continue to be all hustle and what ever Kelsey asks from him he will go out and deliver.
Rooths rotation and role has increased recently after Noah Waterman has not performed to the standard. The4-star prospect out of Bradenton, Fla. is one of the highest-rated recruits to come to Louisville in the history of the program.
The sky is the limit for this true freshman, but the question comes down to is his time next year? Rooths currently averages 13.2 minutes per game with 3.6 points per game, and three rebounds a game.
