LOUISVILLE, Ky. —

The No. 11 Cardinals and Pat Kelsey hit the hardwood for the first time this season on Friday when they host No. 19 Kansas in an exhibition game.

Louisville and Kansas will tip off at 7:30 p.m. at the KFC Yum! Center. The game will air on the ACC Network.

This will be the first time Louisville fans will get to see a reloaded roster that includes returners like Kasean Pryor and J'Vonne Hadley, along with new faces like Mikel Brown Jr. and Ryan Conwell.

Expectations for Kelsey and the Cards are high this season, as they come off 27-8 "ReviVille" last year, which saw their return to the NCAA Tournament.

The No. 11 Cardinals were picked to finish second in the ACC behind No. 6 Duke.
