IU basketball plays Louisville in CareSource Invitational. What is CareSource
Aaron Ferguson
The Hoosiers and Cardinals are playing today’s game to raise awareness about youth mental health. IU coach Darian DeVries and Louisville coach Pat Kelsey met with around 2,000 Arsenal Tech students Friday to discuss the topic and CareSource will distribute $250K in grants to support mental health to organizations within CareSource Invitationals.
“Mental health is a very important part of our overall well-being,” DeVries said. “The Hoosiers are committed to continuing the effort to break down the barriers surrounding mental health, especially among young adults.”

Scouting Louisville basketball, IU’s opponent
Aaron Ferguson
The Cardinals play energized, the embodiment of coach Pat Kelsey, and Pike grad Ryan Conwell leads that charge. He averages a team-best 19.5 points per game and is shooting an efficient 41.5% on 3-pointers. He leads an attack that is ninth nationally in scoring 94.6 points per game.
His 4.9 rebounds per game are fourth best. German native Sanada Fru, at 6 foot 11, leads the way at 6.1 per contest.
U of L’s selflessness is apparent as three players have at least 20 assists (158 total on 249 makes): freshman Mikel Brown Jr. (45), Aly Khalifa (26) and Conwell (21).

Indiana basketball vs. Louisville expert predictions
Michael Niziolek
Michael Niziolek, Herald-Times: Indiana 80-75
“Indiana and Louisville head to Indianapolis licking their wounds after seeing their respective undefeated seasons end on Wednesday night. How will teams respond given the short turnaround? The Hoosiers should benefit of playing in front of what should be a friendly environment at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. Expect a more focused effort from IU, and the energy from the crowd should help them get into an early rhythm to set the stage for an upset.”
