After 10 days of consideration over a lopsided loss to then-No. 12 Tennessee, Pat Kelsey’s first Louisville basketball team returns to KFC Yum! Center looks to score a comeback win against crosstown foe Bellarmine.

Coach Scott Davenport’s Knights (0-4), meanwhile, are trying to get their first win of the season.

It’s the third year in a row U of L (1-1) and Bellarmine has shut out. Two years ago, the Knights handed former Cards coach Kenny Payne a loss in his regular-season debut.

Louisville leads the all-time series against Bellarmine, 13-1. Last year the Cards won by five points, 73-68; but the top story afterward was that freshman point guard Ty-Laur Johnson was hesitant to play because the team didn’t have the kind of compression pants he wanted.

Here’s what you need to know to follow today’s match from home:

U of L and Bellarmine are scheduled to tip off at 7:00 PM inside the Yum! Center.
