How will the Louisville men's basketball team respond to Saturday's disappointing loss at DePaul?

We'll find out when the Cardinals (4-5, 0-1 ACC) take the court tonight vs. Arkansas State at the KFC Yum! Center.

Reflecting on that frustrating afternoon in Chicago — during which his team won the second half, 46-37, but trailed for more than 36 minutes and by as many as 19 points in the losing effort — U of L head coach Kenny Payne said during his radio show Monday night he wasn't sure if his players understood the importance of not judging the Blue Demons by their 1-7 record.

But when asked by play-by-play announcer Paul Rogers if the loss hurt the team's confidence, Payne said the feedback he's getting from the group is, "We're really not losing to the team; we're sort of beating ourselves."

Tonight's game offers ideal conditions for a bounce-back performance — if Louisville learned its lesson in the Windy City.

Arkansas State (3-7) is another overlookable team, one that was picked to finish ninth in the Sun Belt Conference's preseason coaches poll. But the Red Wolves are coming off a 19-point win over UAB and, like the other mid-major opponents that have given the Cards trouble during the early going, need only a bit of inconsistency to challenge for an upset.

Here's what you need to know to follow along from home:
