Ryan Conwell - Goes for 24 points in win Conwell posted 24 points (7-14 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 6-6 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one steal in 37 minutes during Saturday's 92-89 win over Miami (FL).

Impact Louisville had to work hard to get past Miami in the final game of the regular season, and Conwell played a big role in this win -- this 24-point performance was the third time he surpassed the 20-point mark in his last four contests. Conwell scored in double digits in every game in conference play and averaged 18.4 ppg, so he should play a big role on offense for Louisville in the ACC Tournament as well.

Mikel Brown Jr. - Progressing well, return soon Louisville's head coach Pat Kelsey announced that Brown (back) is progressing in his recovery and will return soon, according to Matt McGavic of Sports Illustrated.

Impact March began with an injured Brown, who missed Louisville's first two games of the month, which were also the Cardinals' last regular-season matchups before the ACC tournament. Brown progressing well and potentially returning soon suggests there is at least a small possibility that he will return for the Cardinals' next game, currently scheduled for the conference tourney's second round, which will see them face the winner of Syracuse and SMU. Even though Louisville did just fine without him for two games, he provides a big boost, especially with his scoring. Despite not playing Syracuse this season, Brown logged 20 points and three three-pointers made earlier in the year against SMU.

Impact Conwell needed 20 shots to score 23 points, but other than that, the senior guard posted another impressive line to further prove that he remains a key offensive contributor for Louisville. Conwell, who's playing for a fourth program in four years, is averaging a career-high 18.5 points per game with just one game left in the 2025-26 regular season.
