This week on ODDBall, the crew keeps it authentic and unfiltered — from Louisville culture debates to breaking down what’s really going on with UofL basketball.

Marcus, Rashid, and Domo kick things off with a hilarious conversation about names, nicknames, and why certain DMs starting with “yo” can’t be trusted. From barber price inflation to the unspoken rules of Louisville identity (What high school did you go to? Grippos and Big Red? White Castle runs?), the guys tap into the small things that make the city the city.

Then it’s straight into hoops.

The squad dives deep into Mikel Brown’s breakout performances — 74 points across two games, including a 45-point explosion — and what it means for Louisville’s ceiling. Is this his true arrival moment? Does he need more signature games to solidify lottery status? And why does he end up on the floor so much?

They also break down:

• Pat Kelsey’s evolution as a coach and the fanbase’s expectations
• The importance of slowing the game down vs. living and dying by the three
• Ka’Sean Pryor’s role, the “doghouse” theory, and lineup adjustments
• The big man dilemma — why Louisville always seems to have either raw athleticism or polish… but rarely both
• And the “what if” scenario of James Scott still being on this roster

As always, it’s passionate, funny, and real — blending basketball IQ with barbershop-level honesty.

If you love Louisville hoops, city culture, and sports talk that doesn’t feel scripted, this one’s for you.

ODDBall — where the takes are sharp, the laughs are loud, and nothing’s off limits.
