LOUISVILLE, Ky. – It’s a quick turnaround for the Louisville men’s basketball program, but at least they’re coming back home to the KFC Yum! Center. They have a pair of home games this week, starting with a Monday night matchup vs. Eastern Michigan.
In their last time out against the Bearcats, the Cardinals had to overcome a bit of a slow start, but eventually captured a 74-64 win. Louisville found themselves trailing 15-4 in the first seven minutes and 32-28 at halftime, but out-scored Cincinnati 46-32 in the second half.
As a result, UofL is now off to their first 5-0 start to a season since 2019.
As for the Eagles, their start to the new hoops season hasn’t been nearly as fruitful. They tipped off the season with a blowout win over Georgia State, but followed that up with back-to-back losses: a convincing road loss at Pitt and a stunning upset to IU Indy at home.
That being said, Eastern Michigan heads into their matchup with Louisville having won their last two against Detroit Mercy and Oakland.
