KEY GAME INFORMATION
NOTRE DAME: Notre Dame returns only two starters from last year's team, but they get their best player back in PG Jerian Grant (19.0 PPG, 6.2 APG, 2.5 RPG), who was suspended midway through last season. He is a heady playmaker, as he does a tremendous job of getting to the paint where he can finish or find a teammate. Swingman Pat Connaughton (13.8 PPG, 7.1 RPG, 38% threes) is a player who will benefit from Grant's return. With defenses having to focus more on Grant, he will get a lot more opportunities for wide-open shots. PF Zach Auguste (6.7 PPG, 4.3 RPG in 16.3 MPG) and SG Demetrius Jackson (6.0 PPG, 2.1 RPG, 42% threes) are two guys the Irish will look to increase their scoring. This team has a chance to be one of the better offensive teams in the conference, but will have to focus more on defense (70.6 PPG allowed last season, 13th in ACC) to avoid losing as many close games as they did last season (11 defeats by seven points or less).
LOUISVILLE: Despite losing three starters, Rick Pitino will once again have a team talented enough to compete for a national title. Junior PF Montrezl Harrell (14.0 PPG, 8.4 RPG, 1.3 BPG) is one of the top returning post players in the country. Last season, he took a big step forward, developing nice touch around the basket. He is a terrific athlete who can change a game on both sides of the ball. The Cardinals will once again have a loaded backcourt, as PG Chris Jones (10.2 PPG, 2.9 APG) and SG Terry Rozier (7.0 PPG, 3.1 RPG, 37% threes) are the two star players. Jones is great at getting to the basket, where he uses his strength to finish at the rim. Rozier had a huge summer, including competing at the LeBron James Skills Academy, where many people at the camp said Rozier was the most impressive player there. With Russ Smith gone, Rozier will play a much bigger role on the team. Swingman Wayne Blackshear (8.2 PPG, 3.1 RPG, 40% threes) will be expected to take on more of a scoring load.

*Notre Dame-Louisville Preview* ===============================

By NOEY KUPCHAN STATS Writer

Notre Dame (24-5) at Louisville (23-6), 7:00 p.m. EDT

With the postseason just around the corner, Louisville is coming off what coach Rick Pitino said was probably its best performance of the season.

Notre Dame's Mike Brey, on the other hand, is eager to see how his group responds following a surprising loss.

Set to meet as members of the ACC for the first time, the 16th-ranked Cardinals and 12th-ranked Fighting Irish renew what's been a wild series over the years Wednesday night at the KFC Yum! Center.

These heavyweights have played a combined 13 overtimes in 13 matchups since 2006. They haven't met since being members of the Big East in 2013, with Notre Dame winning a five-overtime thriller before losing the next two meetings - the last in the conference tournament semifinals - by an average of 14.0 points.

"They've been exciting games, great for the fans. I don't necessarily think (this) game will be very exciting, unless you like rock fights," Pitino said. "We appreciate their style, and we have great camaraderie. It's a nice rivalry, its a friendly rivalry that we look forward to."

Louisville (23-6, 11-5) returns home seeking a fourth consecutive victory after easily getting by Florida State 81-59 on Saturday. Wayne Blackshear led five players in double figures with 18 points and Montrezl Harrell added 16 as the Cardinals reached the 70-point mark for the first time in eight games.

Louisville also forced 21 turnovers for its highest total in league play in its second game since former starting guard Chris Jones' dismissal.

"I think we responded as a team should respond to a difficult situation. We played great team basketball," Pitino said. "This was a great performance by us late in the season and we had to change our team, we are a different team now."

While Notre Dame has already secured a double-bye in the ACC tournament, fourth-place Louisville is still looking to lock one up. The Cardinals are one game behind the Irish with two to play, including another tough home matchup Saturday against No. 2 Virginia, the regular-season conference champion.

"Our fate is in our hands," Pitino said. "We have our hands full, but I think our guys are up for the challenge. ... We have to do a lot of things well to have a chance at beating either one of those teams."

Notre Dame (24-5, 12-4) is shooting 50.8 percent to rank second in the country, but it was held to 34.7 percent in last Tuesday's 65-60 defeat to Syracuse. Pat Connaughton, who finished with 13 points and a career-high 15 rebounds, shot 3 of 7 from 3-point range while the rest of the team went 0 for 15 as the Irish couldn't solve the Orange's zone.

"I think the biggest thing is how will we play after a loss," Brey said. "You'll focus on that, can we bounce back after a loss? And just try and keep it in the now and not thinking ahead.

"They'll press us back to zone down there at Louisville, so we've got to get better at that."

Star senior Jerian Grant will look to come out with a better approach after finishing with 13 points while shooting 2 of 9. Grant leads the team with 16.9 points per game, and the Irish have won 14 in a row when he scores at least 15.

"We just have to be more aggressive," he said. "Against the zone, if you have a look you have to take it. Our offense usually passes up good shots for great shots, but against a zone you have to take the shots when you're open."

Grant is averaging 13.2 points on 28.6 percent shooting in five games against the Cardinals.

Notre Dame is 3-2 against ranked opponents, and Louisville has a 2-4 record in such games while shooting 34.7 percent.
