First-year head coach Pat Kelsey has the Cardinals on an absolute roll right now. They've won their last nine games in a row for their longest winning streak in five years, most recently blasting SMU 98-73 in Dallas. Louisville now sits at second in the ACC standings, and are favored in every remaining regular season game.

Pat Kelsey's Louisville basketball team led for all but 2 minutes, 35 seconds and by as many as 29 points Tuesday en route to its 10th consecutive win

The Louisville Cardinals are one of the hottest teams in basketball right now, and they continued their hot streak Tuesday night.

A gritty, physical tone was set by both teams from the jump. Louisville struggled to get into a rhythm offensively, opening up the game shooting 4-of-11, but so did Wake Forest. They hit just four of their first 10 shots, and turned the ball over five times in the first four minutes.
