Coverage during the game:

Louisville men’s basketball wraps up its preseason tonight at the KFC Yum! Center.

The Cardinals play a local Division III program, Spalding, in an exhibition game scheduled to tip off at 7 p.m. It’s their final tuneup before the 2024-25 season begins Nov. 4 against Morehead State.

Last week, the members of head coach Pat Kelsey’s overhauled roster dominated Young Harris College to the tune of 106-59. U of L knocked down 24 3-pointers, which would have been a program record had the game counted for real, and tallied 27 assists on 40 baskets against 12 turnovers.

Led by longtime coach Kevin Gray, Spalding was picked to finish second in the St. Louis Intercollegiate Athletic Conference’s preseason poll. The Eagles return all five starters from a 2023-24 team that recorded the program’s first winning season (15-12) since 2014-15 and finished second in the SLIAC Tournament. They have seven Louisville natives on their roster.
