The Battle 4 Atlantis bracket was announced Wednesday morning and Indiana’s ninth non-conference opponent for the 2024-25 season is confirmed: Louisville.
The Cardinals are coming off two horrendous seasons under Kenny Payne, finishing 4-28 and 8-24 in his two seasons at his alma mater.
Payne was dismissed shortly after the conclusion of last season, a campaign in which the Cardinals finished just 3-17 in ACC play and No. 185 in KenPom. The Hoosiers and Cardinals locked horns last season in New York, with Indiana prevailing in a closer-than-expected 74-66 victory. IU leads the all-time series with Louisville 12-9.
