The Louisville basketball team will take on the Kentucky Wildcats this Tuesday at the KFC Yum! Center, in what will be the biggest matchup of the 2025 college basketball season so far.
Louisville and Kentucky have both started 2-0 so far this season, and are looking to boost their resumes come March with a win on Tuesday. Louisville lost to Kentucky last year in Lexington in a relatively close game, falling 93-85, and has lost three straight to the Wildcats.
Louisville has not had its way in this series with Kentucky in some time, as they have only won the game twice since 2016, and if Pat Kelsey truly wants to change the vibes in Louisville, then it needs to start with a win over Kentucky.
Louisville will come into this game as the favored team and will need to do everything it can to take down a top-ten Wildcat team. With both teams ranked inside the top 12 and players already talking trash, the stage is set.
So, here are the five massive keys for Louisville to beat Kentucky tomorrow night.
