The Cardinals got back star point guard Chucky Hepburn (groin) for their matchup at the Wolfpack, as well as starting center James Scott (mouth). As a result, UofL produced a wire-to-wire 91-66 blowout, and have now won 13 of their last 14 since opening up the season 6-5.

The 11-15 Fighting Irish have lost two straight and in total they've lost five of their last six games. After their loss to Louisville in South Bend — a 75-60 stinker — Shrewsberry got so upset by the amount of Cardinals fans in attendance that he ended up hitting the microphone on the way out of the news conference.
