The Cardinals made the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2019 and lost in the first round to No. 9 Creighton. Louisville ranked No. 30 in KenPom in offensive efficiency but just No. 222 in 3-point shooting. With Conwell, the Cardinals add one of the transfer portal's top perimeter weapons.

Cardinals announcer makes unfortunate on-air slip-up during promo read
Cardinals announcer Chip Caray had perhaps the worst kind of slip-up a broadcaster could have. Midway through the top of the fourth inning of Saturday's matchup between the Cardinals and Reds, Caray, the play-by-play man on the FanDuel Sports Network, accidentally said a homophobic slur while doing an ad read. The St. Louis announcer was reading a promo for the team's upcoming Disability Pride Night, which takes place on July 10 against the Nationals, and fans will take home a Cardinals cap featuring the Disability Pride flag and braille lettering of the team name. Warning: explicit content While reading the ad, Caray unintentionally said the slur while trying to say a different word for the promo. What happened next, however, made the blunder even more awkward. Thirty-one seconds of dead silence in the broadcasting booth followed Caray's slip-up before commentator Brad Thompson finally broke it to comment on a pitch that was called a ball. Television broadcaster Chip Caray on the field before the start of MLB game action against the Toronto Blue Jays on April 18, 2015 at Rogers Centre in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Getty Images Front Office Sports reported, citing sources, that Caray will not be suspended and that he made an 'honest' mistake. A Cardinals spokesperson told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch that what Caray said was 'unintentional.' Caray, who has been announcing since 1987, started doing play-by-play for the Cardinals in 2023, with his grandfather, Harry, calling games for St. Louis for over 20 years. Caray's father, Skip, was a longtime baseball broadcaster, most known for calling Braves games until his death in 2008. Last season, Caray teamed up with Joe Buck to announce a Cardinals-Rangers game, with the ESPN voice having nothing but praise for the 60-year-old. Broadcaster Chris Caray of the Oakland Athletics with his father Chip Caray in the press box before the game between the Athletics and Cardinals at the Oakland Coliseum on April 16, 2024 in Oakland, California. Getty Images 'Broadcasters get real territorial and Chip was the opposite of that,' Buck said during an appearance on on 'Total Information A.M.' then. 'He flung the doors open. My wife, my little boys, everybody was welcomed and he does not need to be that way.' 'He's a rarity in this business. I like to think I'm the same way, and I know my dad (Jack Buck) was, but those little things go a long way. To know he's there to root for me tonight, I'm there rooting for him and we're there to have a good time together, it makes all the difference in the world. 'It was not that way when I started when I was ironically filling in one time and working with Ken Wilson and I think there was a little bit of friction there.'
