The Louisville men’s basketball roster continues to dwindle this offseason.

Two more Cardinals have entered the transfer portal as of Monday.

Skyy Clark and Mike James have both put their names in the portal. Clark was the Cards’ leading scorer this season.

That makes eight players that have entered the transfer portal since Kenny Payne was dismissed from his head coaching position two weeks ago.

Four-star forwards Kaleb Glenn and Curtis Williams Jr., both entered the transfer portal March 18.

Freshman center Dennis Evans, sophomore forward Danilo Jovanovich and senior forward J.J. Traynor have also entered the transfer portal.

Clark does plan to keep talking to the team, and he hasn’t closed off the possibility of a return.

That will almost certainly depend on what coach UofL ends up bringing on board to begin the Cards’ next era.

Day 4 of the NCAA Women’s Tournament is complete and the Sweet 16 is set. Here are updates on all of Monday’s games.

Caitlin Clark scored 32 points and No. 1 seed Iowa survived one of its worst offensive performances of the season to beat No. 8 seed West Virginia 64-54 on Monday night in a women’s NCAA Tournament second-round game.

The Hawkeyes advanced to play No. 5 seed Colorado in Saturday’s Albany 2 Regional semifinal.

Sydney Affolter’s three-point play with 2:03 to play, the Hawkeyes’ lone field goal of the fourth quarter, gave Iowa a 55-52 lead. Clark and Hannah Stuelke closed the game with nine free throws to clinch the win.

As time ran out on the final home game of her career, Clark, who became the NCAA’s Division I all-time scoring leader this season, circled the court, making a heart-shaped symbol with her hands as the sellout crowd cheered.

Iowa came into the game leading the nation in scoring at 92.8 points per game, but the Hawkeyes were held to their lowest single-game point total this season. Iowa shot just 36.4% from the field.

JJ Quinerly led West Virginia with 15 points. Kyah Watson had 13 points and Jayla Hemingway had 10 points.
