The Louisville football team secured a 38-24 victory over Boston College despite an inconsistent performance, with head coach Jeff Brohm praising the team's resilience and defensive adjustments. In men's basketball, the Louisville Cardinals, ranked No. 11 nationally and aiming for ACC success and a national title, lost a preseason exhibition to No. 19 Kansas 90-82, revealing areas needing improvement such as shooting efficiency and turnovers. Head coach Pat Kelsey views the game as a valuable teaching opportunity and highlighted the team's effort and rebounding.
