Katie George breaks down Louisville volleyball's title chances

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.
