Louisville basketball kicks off the Bad Boy Mowers Battle 4 Atlantis today against a cross-state rival, No. 15 Indiana.
The Cardinals (3-1) and Hoosiers (4-0) will meet for the 22nd time in the opening round of the eight-team tournament at Atlantis Paradise Island resort in the Bahamas.
First-year U of L coach Pat Kelsey is going for win No. 1 against a high-major opponent at the helm; while IU’s Mike Woodson will try to notch his alma mater’s third consecutive victory in a series it leads 12-9 going back to 1921.
This year marks the first time since 2017-18 that Louisville and Indiana are squaring off in back-to-back seasons. They met last November, in the third-place game of the Empire Classic at Madison Square Garden; a game that is remembered now mostly for Kelsey’s predecessor, Kenny Payne, saying Woodson “tricked” him by using a zone defense to spark the Hoosiers’ late surge to a 74-66 win.
The Cards will play either No. 4 Gonzaga or West Virginia in Round 2 of the Battle 4 Atlantis. If they beat IU, they’ll play at noon on Thanksgiving Day. If they lose, they’ll play at 2:30 p.m.
On the other side of the bracket: No. 23 Arizona, Davidson, Oklahoma and Providence.
