Louisville basketball is set to face South Florida in the NCAA Tournament first round in Buffalo. The No. 6-seed Cardinals are seeking their first tournament win since 2017 and their first for coach Pat Kelsey, against the No. 11 Bulls. USF coach Bryan Hodgson is a native of western New York and his father can attend a game to watch him. The game marks the first time Hodgson has seen a game in his three years as a head coach. Despite Louisville's struggles, the Bulls' roster is comprised of players who were overlooked and those who had to play in unfamiliar environments.
