Louisville basketball: Pat Kelsey praises team after NCAA Tournament loss

Louisville basketball coach Pat Kelsey praises the Cardinals following an 89-75 loss to Creighton in the first round of the 2025 NCAA Tournament.

After reportedly visiting Louisville basketball on March 28, Adrian Wooley is joining the Cardinals via the transfer portal.The 6-foot-5 guard was named Conference USA Freshman of the Year after averaging 18.8 points, 5.2 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.4 steals per game for Kennesaw State in 2024-25.

Wooley started all but one of the Kennesaw State’s 33 games and had 15 outings of 20-plus points. He led the team in scoring (18.8), field-goal percentage (51.2%, 42.2% from 3-point range) and assists (3.6) with 5.2 rebounds and 1.4 steals to boot across 33.6 minutes per contest.
