The C.L. Show Brown Show

How Louisville basketball can survive without Kasean Pryor

Michael DeCourcy, a columnist with The Sporting News and Fox Sports college basketball analyst, joins this episode of The C.L. Brown Show to discuss the upcoming Louisville versus Kentucky men's basketball game.

DeCourcy tells how UK learned more in its overtime win over Gonzaga than in its loss at Clemson. He explains why Louisville has reason to be optimistic of the future under coach Pat Kelsey. He also discusses what it will take for the Cards to make the NCAA Tournament and why he thinks the ceiling for UK is a Final Four appearance.
