Efficient season for Louisville Hadley ended Saturday's 75-62 victory over Boston College with 11 points (4-7 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and three assists across 30 minutes.

Impact Hadley continues to quietly go about his business as the most experienced player for Louisville (he started his collegiate career back in 2020). His scoring and rebounding may be down from last year due to the Cardinals improving their overall depth, but he's still second on the team on the glass with 5.3 boards per contest, and he's shooting both a team and career-high 44.1 percent from distance. Hadley has been especially important with star freshman Mikel Brown (back) sidelined, as the 6-7 forward has put up 10.8 points, 5.5 rebounds and 2.2 assists through the six games Brown has missed. Next up is a home matchup Tuesday against Virginia.

Chips in 13 sans Brown Hadley supplied 13 points (5-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, three assists and two steals across 28 minutes during Saturday's 94-54 victory over Montana.

Impact Hadley's scoring, rebounding and assists averages are down across the baord to begin the 2025-26 season, as this year's Louisville's team is much deeper, and Hadley simply isn't allotted the same number of minutes. He had one of his better all-around efforts of the season Saturday, due at least in part to second-leading scorer Mikel Brown (back) being out, and the entire team seeing more opportunities. That being said, as ACC play picks up and Brown eventually returns, Hadley is likely off the mainstream fantasy radar.
