No. 23 Ole Miss Faces Short-Handed Louisville in SEC/ACC Challenge

Louisville grapples with key injuries as they prepare to host Ole Miss in a matchup following intense tournament losses for both teams.

Louisville enters the game without Kasean Pryor, who is out for the season with a torn ACL, and two other injured players, Aboubacar Traore and Koren Johnson.
Ole Miss, ranked No. 23, is playing its first true road game of the season after a narrow loss to Purdue in the Rady Children's Invitational championship.
Both teams are coming off physically taxing tournaments, with Louisville losing to Oklahoma in the Battle 4 Atlantis final and Ole Miss falling to Purdue on a last-second shot.
Louisville has struggled with shooting consistency, ranking 297th nationally in three-point percentage, while Ole Miss has excelled in three-point shooting on the road.
The game marks the return of Dre Davis to Louisville; the Ole Miss guard previously played for the Cardinals from 2020 to 2022.
