Louisville’s leading scorer Mike James will enter the transfer portal, 247Sports has learned. James appeared in 32 games this past season. 
He averaged 12.6 points and 5.0 rebounds on 34 percent shooting from long range.
James’ decision comes in the wake of Louisville parting ways with head coach Kenny Payne. A redshirt sophomore, once James selects his next university, he will have two years of eligibility remaining.
A 6-foot-5, 200-pound wing out of Orlando (Fla.) James originally committed to Louisville under former head coach Chris Mack. He chose the Cardinals out of a final list that included Texas A&M and Virginia Tech.
A former four-star prospect in the national 2021 class. He will now be one of the top swingmen in the portal cycle this offseason.

Who’s got it worse than us?
Well, let’s toss a visor across the room talk about it.
Over the 1980-through-1989 seasons, U of L, UK and IU combined for 20 Sweet Sixteen appearances. The numbers was still as high as 19 from 2010-2019.
