He’s spent the previous eight seasons coaching them.
Lemonis was an assistant coach at Louisville for the last eight seasons, making three trips to the College World Series in his tenure coaching the Cardinals.
The starting pitcher for the Hoosiers will be junior Scott Effross, who is making his second start since having to skip two starts due to arm soreness.
In his last start, last week in a 4-0 victory against Valparaiso, Effross pitched only one inning, which was Lemonis’ plan.
In two relief appearances against Louisville last season Effross pitched 2.2 innings allowing two runs and six hits.
IU has won its last four meetings against Louisville and six of the last seven games.
