Louisville basketball is 4-0, and the Cardinals fans truly believe something special is brewing this season. The Cardinals have already snapped multiple streaks, as Louisville ended its three-game losing streak to Kentucky this past Tuesday with its thrilling victory over the Wildcats. Now, they are 4-0 for the first time in five seasons.
The Cards moved up to No. 5 in ESPN's power rankings, and as of now are a projected No. 3 seed in Joe Lunardi's March Madness bracket. Louisville will look to end its seven-year drought without an NCAA Tournament win and attempt to reach the Final Four for the first time since 2013.
The Cardinals are taking over college basketball as the whole nation is talking about Kelsey and the ReviVILLE. Although we are only four games into the regular season, the general consensus is that this Cardinals team is truly different, and they are built for a deep postseason run. Their offensive efficiency is the glaring reason why.

This Cardinals team is dominant offensively, and their stars are proving they have one of the best backcourts in the nation. Mikel Brown Jr. is the Cardinals' first freshman to score 10 points or more in his first four games since Samardo Samuels did it back in the 2008-09 season. Brown Jr. and Ryan Conwell are the Cardinals' leading scorers, averaging 19.3 points per game, as these two newcomers form a dominant duo.
Joining the party is elite 3-point shooter Ryan Conwell, as the Virginia transfer has splashed 14 3-pointers while shooting 41.2 percent from beyond the arc to start the season. Louisville, as a team, is averaging the ninth most made 3-pointers per game, with 12.8, and is doing it while shooting above 35 percent from downtown.
The Cards have the fifth-highest odds as of right now to win the 2026 National Title with their +1600 odds. It might be just four games into the season, but this Cardinals offense is special, and the vibe around the city is that Kelsey has a historic season brewing, and the fans are eager to cut down some nets.
