ACC Showdown: Heels Host Louisville
24 Feb
Summary
- Louisville and UNC tied for sixth in ACC standings.
- UNC's Henri Veesaar returned, scoring 19 points.
- Louisville has won six of its last seven games.

The No. 21 Louisville Cardinals face the No. 16 North Carolina Tar Heels on Monday night in a significant Atlantic Coast Conference matchup. Both teams are currently tied for sixth place in the ACC standings, with the top four spots offering a double bye in the conference tournament.
Louisville, with a 20-7 overall record and 9-5 in conference play, has been performing strongly, winning six of their last seven games. Coach Pat Kelsey acknowledges the challenge of a tough road stretch to end the season. The Cardinals' offense has been potent, scoring at least 80 points in six of their last seven contests.
North Carolina, standing at 21-6 overall and 9-5 in the ACC, is seeing some key players return. Center Henri Veesaar recently came back from a two-game absence and contributed 19 points in their victory over Syracuse. His presence is crucial for the Tar Heels, both offensively and defensively, by altering shots. However, North Carolina will still be without leading scorer and rebounder Caleb Wilson due to a hand injury.
