With or without Pete Nance and Armando Bacot, North Carolina will travel to Louisville to face the Cardinals on Saturday afternoon at the KFC Yum! Center.

Nance has missed the last two games plus the final 38 minutes of a win over Wake Forest more than a week ago, and Bacot was injured 78 seconds into the loss at Virginia on Tuesday and did not return.
