The Louisville Cardinals venture on the road again in Atlantic Coast Conference play Tuesday when they face the Syracuse Orange, with both teams ready to defend winning streaks.The Cardinals (12-5, 5-1) have won six in a row, the program’s best streak since a 10-game run five years ago. Five players have led or tied to lead the team in scoring over the streak, with Reyne Smith scoring 25 on Saturday in Louisville’s come-from-behind 82-78 victory against the Pitt Panthers.A native of Australia, Smith leads the conference and ranks third nationally with 61 3-pointers, making seven of his 11 shots from beyond the arc in the win.The current streak is helping return the program to national prominence after three consecutive losing seasons, and Louisville is doing that with a roster that includes just one returning player, a walk-on from last season’s 8-24 squad.Speaking during the weekly ACC coaches’ call Monday, first-year coach Pat Kelsey said landing players from winning programs was a key factor as his staff overhauled the roster.”it’s just a big thing for us in this new age, in the transfer portal era, because it’s very important to be able to mesh your team quickly and build chemistry quickly and build camaraderie and those types of things,” Kelsey said.
