LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Following a few extra days off, the Louisville men's basketball program is back in action, returning home for a showdown against Wake Forest.

First-year head coach Pat Kelsey has the Cardinals on an absolute roll right now. They've won their last nine games in a row for their longest winning streak in five years, most recently blasting SMU 98-73 in Dallas. Louisville now sits at second in the ACC standings, and are favored in every remaining regular season game.

As for the Demon Deacons, they're one of the tougher remaining teams on Louisville's schedule. They currently sit at fourth in the ACC standings, and prior to Saturday, they had been on a six-game winning streak. However, the streak was snapped in their last time out, falling 63-56 in Winston-Salem to Duke.
