The Pat Kelsey era of Louisville men's basketball will unofficially begin in paradise.

The Cardinals are headed to the Bahamas on July 28 for a two-game exhibition tour. We'll get our first look at their completely overhauled 2024-25 roster when they take the court for the Baha Mar Hoops Summer League at the Baha Mar resort in Nassau.

The trip, Kelsey said, allows him and his staff to accelerate the team's "growth curve" with 10 practices akin to what they'll run during the season in addition to the camaraderie building that'll no doubt occur on the Caribbean island.

"We get a great head start," Kelsey told reporters June 27. "So, when we get back together when it really, really starts ramping up and it counts for real — when practice starts at the end of September and the beginning of October — we can look back to these 10 practices and go, 'Man, we're way further ahead than we should have been.'"

Here's everything you need to know to follow along from home:
