Impact Brown delivered one of the best individual efforts we've seen in the college basketball season in 2025-26, leading the Cardinals to a huge win while also posting the sixth-best scoring mark in a single game in 2025-26. Brown has scored at least 20 points in three of his six appearances since returning from injury Jan. 24.

Sananda Fru - Leads Louisville in road win Fru notched 17 points (7-7 FG, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, two assists and two blocks over 25 minutes during Saturday's 88-80 victory over Wake Forest.

Impact After scoring just seven points combined in games against Duke and SMU to close out January, Fru scored a dozen against Notre Dame earlier this week before posting his second-best scoring total of the year Saturday. The 6-11 junior was perfect from the field en route to leading all Louisville players in scoring. He'll look to keep things rolling with a quick turnaround, as Louisville hosts NC State on Monday.

J'Vonne Hadley - Part of starting lineup Hadley is part of the Cardinals' starting lineup for their upcoming game Saturday at Wake Forest.

Impact Currently 1-2 across their last three away games, the Cardinals are not only trying to establish better consistency but will also be full strength with Hadley available at Wake Forest. The senior excelled across UofL's aforementioned matchups, averaging 14.0 points (on 53.4/35.3/85.0 shooting splits) and 6.3 rebounds.

J'Vonne Hadley - Game-time decision Saturday Hadley (back) is a game-time decision for Saturday's game at Wake Forest.

Impact Even though the momentum of Hadley's availability was trending positively Friday night, it looks like Louisville will need just a bit more time to decide whether or not the Cardinals will use him at Wake Forest. He is trying to bounce back from a three-minute performance Wednesday against Notre Dame.

J'Vonne Hadley - Probable Saturday Hadley (back) has been listed as probable ahead of Saturday's game against Wake Forest.

Impact Hadley, who sustained a back injury during Wednesday's win over Notre Dame, is expected to be available for the Cardinals' game against the Demon Deacons on Saturday. The 6-foot-7 senior, who is averaging 10.2 points, 5.1 rebounds, 1.7 assists and one steal across 21 games (20 starts), will continue to have his status monitored during pregame warmups.

J'Vonne Hadley - Dealing with back injury Hadley (back) suffered a back injury during Wednesday's 76-65 victory over Notre Dame, per Jody Demling of 247Sports.com.

Impact Hadley played just three minutes against the Fighting Irish before going down with a back injury. The 6-foot-7 senior has averaged 10.2 points and 5.1 rebounds per game across 21 contests for the Cardinals this season. The details and severity of the issue are thus far unknown, but his next chance to return will come against Wake Forest on Saturday.

Khani Rooths - Posts another double-double Rooths contributed 12 points (5-9 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-3 FT), 12 rebounds, one assist and two steals across 25 minutes during Wednesday's 76-65 victory over Notre Dame.

Impact Rooths has recorded back-to-back double-doubles. The forward has made just two starts this season and both came in November, so he's widely expected to continue playing off the bench. The big man is likely to continue to produce, but his role in the second unit limits his upside.

J'Vonne Hadley - Starting vs. Irish Hadley (undisclosed) is part of Louisville's starting five, per Matt McGavic of SI.com.

Impact Hadley was deemed a game-time call for Louisville, but the guard is in the Cardinals' starting five and will be good to go against Notre Dame. Hadley averages 10.8 points, 5.4 rebounds and 1.8 assists.

FEBRUARY 4 • ROTOWIRE

J'Vonne Hadley - Game-time call Wednesday Hadley (undisclosed) is a game-time call for Louisville's tilt with Notre Dame on Wednesday.

Impact Hadley hasn't missed a game since Nov. 6, but he's in danger of changing that Wednesday. The forward, who's started 19 games this season and averages 10.8 points, 5.4 rebounds and 1.8 assists, will likely have his availability come right up to tip-off.

J'Vonne Hadley - Pops up on injury report Hadley is listed as probable for Wednesday's game against Notre Dame due to an undisclosed injury.

Impact Hadley hasn't missed a game since Nov. 6, and while he's still likely to suit up Wednesday, the veteran forward appears to be battling a minor injury. Hadley has scored in double figures in six straight games, averaging 12.3 points, 5.2 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.5 steals during that span.

Isaac McKneely - Shows three-point shooting McKneely registered 14 points (5-10 FG, 4-9 3Pt), three rebounds and one assist across 24 minutes during Saturday's 88-74 win over SMU.

Impact McKneely has essentially been an outside shooting specialist for Louisville, cashing multiple three-pointers in six straight games and shooting 36.7 percent from distance over that span. On the season, he's second on the Cardinals with 60 three-pointers made at a 38.2 percent success rate.

Mikel Brown Jr. - Gets back on track Brown recorded 20 points (7-14 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 3-5 FT), three rebounds, four assists and one steal across 29 minutes during Saturday's 88-74 victory over SMU.

Impact Brown had started the previous two games leading up to Saturday, but he was just 1-for-13 from the field in a lopsided loss to Duke earlier in the week. Some alarms were raised when he wasn't part of the listed starting five for this contest, especially given the injuries he's battled this year, but Brown still came off the bench and ended up surpassing his season average in minutes played, while also getting his shooting back on track. He'll be safe to deploy this week in matchups against Notre Dame (Jan. 4) and Wake Forest (Jan. 7).
