Isaac McKneely - Carries Louisville to victory McKneely notched 23 points (8-11 FG, 7-10 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists and one steal over 29 minutes during Thursday's 83-79 win over South Florida.

Impact The Cardinals didn't have Mikel Brown (back), who will miss the Round 32 matchup against Michigan State on Saturday as well, but McKneely stepped up for Louisville. This was a huge bounce-back performance for McKneely, who posted six points (2-8 FG) in the loss to Miami in the ACC Tournament. McKneely will have a big role when Louisville take on Michigan State on Saturday in the Round of 32.
