With the 72-59 win over Indiana on Thursday night, the Cardinals moved out to a 7-0 start, which is tied for the third best start in program history. They have opened the season at 7-0 in five of the last six years after starting 7-0 in 2013-14 and 2016-17 and 8-0 in 2012-13 and 2014-15.
Their best ever start is 15-0 in 2006-07. That season, they finished the year at 27-8, losing in the second round of the NCAA Tournament to Arizona State, 67-58.
The Cards have scored at least 70 points in each of their first seven games, which ties the program record and enhances their record to 183-20 when surpassing the 70-point plateau under head coach Jeff Walz. The Cardinals were 18-3 last season when reaching 70-plus points.

With the win over Indiana, UofL is 3-0 against Big Ten teams this season after beating No. 5 Ohio State, 95-90, and No. 24 Michigan, 74-49. The win also helped the ACC to a 10-4 victory over the Big Ten in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge. The ACC is now 8-0-3 in the challenge. Louisville is 3-1 in the ACC/B1G Challenge.Â
UofL is shooting 80.0 percent from free throw line, which ranks sixth in the country and first in the ACC. They shot 12-of-14 vs. Oregon, 14-of-17 vs. Murray State and 10-of-11 vs. Indiana. They are 36-of-42 (.857) from the stripe in their last three games.Â
