50: Jerry Eaves

Jerry played on the ’80 title team and started every game for the ’82 Final Four team, averaging 25.4 mpg. in his career. He was a smart, consistent player, shooting 50.5 percent from the field in his college years. He averaged double figures in his last two seasons.

49: Kyle Kuric

There was nothing quite like Kyle when he was in his corner. He was absolutely money from three-point range. In fact, he is fourth all-time in shooting percentage from three in a season (.449). He played on the 2009 Elite Eight team and the 2012 Final Four team.

48: Wiley Brown

The creator of the high-five was a member of the 1980 title team and the 1982 Final Four team. He shot 47.2 percent in his career and appeared in 123 games. In the year of the championship, he averaged 10.4 ppg. and played over 30 mpg.

47: Terry Rozier

Scary Terry really came on in his final season at Louisville, leading the Cards to an Elite Eight berth. He averaged 17.1 ppg. that year, and he has recently earned a name for himself being a postseason hero in the NBA.

Holden has the fifth-highest field goal percentage in a season and the seventh-highest for a career. He is 5th all-time in dunks and 6th in career blocked shots.

43: Jason Osborne

Osborne only played at Louisville for two seasons, averaging 10.6 points and 5.8 rebounds per game. He was part of the high-flying Cardinals in the ’90s. He was a commanding offensive force and played with rich confidence.

Chane was a straight-up dog. He’s a top-five dunker at Louisville and he was a member of the 2012 Final Four team and the 2013 NCAA title team.
