This episode of The C.L. Brown Show features Louisville basketball guard Adrian Wooley.

As the Cardinals' lone returning player from last year's rotation, Wooley says he's ready to take on more responsibility this season.

First up is getting the nine newcomers — six transfers, three freshmen — acclimated to coach Pat Kelsey and his many acronyms. He says that starts with no "BCD," which stands for "blame, complain or defend."

Wooley, who transferred from Kennesaw State in 2025, says he didn't play to his standard last season. He is looking forward to being back in the starting lineup after averaging 11.4 points across his final seven starts of 2025-26, five points higher than his season average.

Hear about that and more on this week's episode of The C.L. Brown Show.

A new episode of this podcast, hosted by Courier Journal sports columnist C.L. Brown, posts each Wednesday. You can listen to The C.L. Brown Show on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, Audible, CastBox and iHeartRadio, among others.
