Previewing Louisville basketball’s season opener against Evansville.
The Louisville basketball team is set to play their season opener on Wednesday afternoon against the Evansville Purple Aces.
Evansville was pegged in the preseason to finish last in the Missouri Valley Conference. With a lot of turnover on the team and new faces needing to make contributions, the Aces are generally an unknown within the conference.
Louisville will be without Malik Williams and Charles Minlend in this game as both will be sidelined for a significant amount of time with their own injuries.
