Previous season
The Cardinals finished the 2015–16 season with a record of 23–8, 12–6 in ACC play to finish in fourth place.
The University of Louisville self-imposed a postseason ban for the 2015–16 season amid an ongoing NCAA investigation over an escort sex scandal involving recruits between 2010 and 2014. None of the players on this team were involved in the allegations. The ban included both the ACC Tournament and the NCAA Tournament.
