This was a pretty awesome way to kick off a new era of Louisville basketball.
Congrats to Jordan Nwora on winning the three-point shooting and knockout competitions, congrats to Darius Perry on the slam dunk crown, and congrats to Akoy Agau on his lifetime achievement award.
Here’s a tweetcap of what went down:
