Cards get it done! 83-79 and advance for the first time in nine years
📸: Jeff Nunn Despite the news of ⭐️ PG Mikel Brown, the Cardinals came into their tournament game against the Bulls of SFU with victory on their minds. Prior to today’s March Madness game, it had been nine years since the Cardinals had tasted victory in the NCAA Basketball Tournament. The first half had its moments of both highs and lows as the Cardinals would have consistent spurts of turnovers. But the turnovers didn’t stop the Cardinals from having massive spots and momen

Louisville marches to 5th win in a row, 82-71 over Baylor.
Coming off an historical performance by Mikel Brown last game against NC State, the Louisville Cardinals entered today’s game against Baylor, poised to continue their winning ways. The first half between the Cards and Bears was one of weirdness and oddness as miscues, ill-advised plays, and unnecessary taunts caused the Bears and Cards to be tied 34-34. I will say this, I guess, when the hosting home team is 14th in their respective conference, one game over .500, the crowd y

Mikel breaks record, as cards route the pack.
📸: Jeff Nunn Coming off a close victory against the demon deacons of Wake Forest, the Cardinals faced the Wolf Pack of NC State. And let’s be real here, folks, the first half couldn’t have started off any better than it did for the Cardinals. The Cardinals made an impressive nine three-pointers out of 12 shots and shot a near 60% overall from the field. Freshman star Mikel Brown balled out during the first half, having scored 21 points, grabbing 6 rebounds, and having 2 ass

Mikel Back in fold for the Cardinals.
For the first time in 41 calendar days (8 games), the Louisville cardinals and #CardNation welcomed star point guard Mikel Brown back. When he finally took to the court, his presence was evident and immediately noticed as the flow of the game and team morale was noticeably different. Mikel seemed to pick up right where he left off, almost in a sense like nothing was lost. Right from the jump, the energy had shifted in the arena as 15,000 plus members of #CardNation came to th

2nd Half , Different team.
The vibes were high, and all the moods were right as the blue devils of Duke came into town. The blue devils were ranked 6th in the nation, and the Cardinals were ranked 20th in the nation prior to tip-off. The game started off with a bang as guard Ryan Conwell caught fire, hitting three straight 3-pointers, and of course, not long after, the blue devils would come back. The Cardinals, up to this point, were making crisp passes and battling on the inside of the paint, which t

Cards Prevail in the land of Beans, win 27-22
The Louisville Cardinals started their 13th and final 🏈 game of the 2025 season against Toledo in the Bush’s Boca Raton Bowl. In a season filled with the highs of highs and the lows of lows, Louisville 👀 to end their season the right way with a victory. Sunny and 78 degrees with an endless supply of beans is an oddly satisfying combination for the coaches, players, and fans during Christmas week. Playing at the place named after a Cardinal legend in Howard Schnellenberger,

Volslated
The University of Louisville Cardinals had been on a roll of sorts, having defeated four historical opponents in Kentucky, Indiana, Memphis, and Cincinnati. With the momentum from the great start they’ve had so far this season, the 11th-ranked Cardinals had vengeance on their minds against the Vols from last season. The start of the game for Louisville would start off on the wrong foot as freshman phenom starting PG Mikel Brown would miss the game due to lower back strains.

Cards finish strong, maul Cats 41-0.
Louisville came into this game with moral and heart in question, giving their questionable performance the previous couple of games. With a dejected fan base and players looking checked out, a lack of positivity was plentiful heading into the 2025 edition of the Governor’s Cup. Prior to the start of the Battle of the Bluegrass, it had been noted that the Cardinals would be without their first three running backs, their star wide receiver Chris Bell, Caullin Lacey would be hea

Cards bounce the bearcats 74-64.
12:27 is the mark when Louisville hit their first field goal of the game. The Cardinals would start 0-9 from the field, 0-7 from 3pt field, and only converting a handful of free throws in nearly eight minutes. It was very clear that up to this point the Bearcats of Cincinnati had come to play with their A game at Heritage Bank Arena. Finally, the Cardinals would convert their first made three-pointer as Ryan Conwell would drain it within the 10-minute mark, and two shots late

The Cards have risen, Louisville beats Kentucky in battle of blue grass. Cards 96-88
22,586 plus mostly Louisville fans packed the KFC Yum Center for an unusually early matchup. The Cardinals were set to face their arch rivals, the Wildcats of Kentucky. Ahead of the first timeout of the game, Cardinals Ryan Conwell and Mikel Brown had scored all of Louisville’s 12 points up to this point in the game. Moments after the first timeout of the game, McKneely would drill a three from the top of the key, showing why Kelsey came after him. After that, the Wildcats of

Cards Fall Short , Cal wins in OT, 29-26.
It’s was quite amusing how Cal began the game with a flea flicker on the first play, however they’d get the last laugh. Jeff Brohm at Card March. After the Bears were unsuccessful in their attempts, Miller Moss and co were poised to march down the field. After a few hiccups, the Cardinals started hitting their stride as Miller would find a cardinal for a FIRST DOWN CARD! After Miller & co got the first down for the Cardinals, Keyjuan Brown had a solid few carries getting anot

Too little, too late, cards fall in overtime
The Cardinals came into this Saturday’s matchup against Virginia with a perfect 4-0 record. Mind you, the Cardinals as well were riding a seven-game winning streak stemming from last season. Prior to the game’s kickoff, former Virginia Cavalier running back Perris Jones was honored. Perris Jones, for folks that don’t remember, was the player a couple of years back that was seriously hurt. Perris now is fully healthy and is also now enrolled at the University of Louisville. Ta

Ugly start , Pretty finish, cards beat Pitt 34-27.
By : Cory Bosemer Early bird gets the worm 🪱 as the old saying goes, and an early start it was for #CardNation as the Cardinals kicked off against the Panthers of Pittsburgh at noon. The matchup between the Cardinals and the Panthers was the first away game, and the first true test of the season up to this point for Brohm and Co. And let’s just say things uh well, didn’t go according to plan as the Cardinals couldn’t get going in the first quarter. Before the end of the firs

Cards march on, Pitt up next September 20th, 2025
Coming off of their first bye week of the season, which I think we can all agree on was WAY too early, the Cardinals faced off against BGSU. Let’s not forget that BGSU has a Heisman Trophy winner in Eddie George as their head coach. Eddie George told a story as he was being interviewed by some Louisville media members, where the legend Howard Schnellenberger recruited him and wanted him to play linebacker. Needless to say, things faired out fine for ol’ Eddie 🤣. Kickoff wa

Cards take care of the duke dogs of James Madison
September 7th, 2025 So here’s the thing, Louisville did what we all thought and knew they’d do against the Colonels of EKU during opening weekend, but there were uncertainties going into the JMU game. And let’s be real here for a second, 3/4th of that game showed exactly why there were uncertainties leading up to the JMU game. I would just say, think, and assume, that Madison gave the Cardinals the first of mini punches to the proverbial face. We all know the old saying, “
