Sports Illustrated has announced the release of a new documentary series titled “Marching to Madness” which follows Pat Kelsey and the Louisville men’s basketball team.

According to the official press release, the series follows “Coach Kelsey as he climbs the NCAA ladder, launching from mid-major College of Charleston to the living, breathing giant of Louisville Cardinals basketball – one of the most storied, scrutinized, and expectation-heavy programs in collegiate sports. Marching Into Madness will feature this year’s ACC tournament and Selection Sunday documenting the final chapter of the season as it happens.“

Here’s the trailer for the series, which is … pretty fantastic.


“I am incredibly thrilled to finally have this documentary released, and to be fortunate enough to have it air in partnership with Fresh Features, Danny McBride and David Gordon Green’s Rough House Pictures, Donovan Mitchell, Jay Bilas, Caleb Pressley and Sports Illustrated, a renowned publication that touches all facets of sport,” said Kelsey. “This crew has been following my staff for three years and it chronicles the ups and the downs of a college basketball season and the lives of those involved, both on and off the court. I can’t wait for our fans and college basketball fans everywhere to have a peek behind the curtain to the unique way we go about what we do.”

The first two episodes will debut on YouTube and SItv this Friday, March 13.
