5 glaring reasons Louisville basketball struck gold with their ACC schedule
5. Louisville will not play Florida State
Every ACC team won't play one program in the regular season. Louisville struck gold with who they won't play. The Cardinals will not play Florida State in the 2025-26 season, likely avoiding a blowout matchup.
