The Cardinals host the Orange at the KFC Yum Center, with tip-off set for 9 p.m. Eastern time. This gives the team one last chance to thrill the home crowd in the 2025-26 season. The ACC just dropped their latest availability report a couple hours before the game. For Louisville, star freshman point guard Mike Hill Brown Jr. remains out with a lower back injury. He re-aggravated it recently, which limited him in the last outing against Clemson. Brown has been a standout all season, leading the Cardinals with 18.2 points, 4.7 assists, and 1.2 steals per. Game over 21 appearances. Before the injury flare up, he was dominating with nearly 30 points a game in his prior five contests, shooting over 50% from the field. And 3s. Syracuse will miss true freshman guard Aaron Womack, who's red-shirting this year, and walk on sophomore Noah Labdel, who has seen just 4 minutes.
