The Louisville Cardinals (5-3) are preparing to bounce back from a disappointing loss to Ole Miss in the SEC/ACC Challenge. However, their next challenge promises to be daunting as they prepare to take on the No. 9-ranked Duke Blue Devils (6-2) in their ACC opener, pitting themselves against one of the powerhouses of college basketball.
Without Kasean Pryor for the season due to a torn cruciate ligament, Louisville struggled in their last game, posting only a 33.3 percent shooting percentage overall, and worse , they only made 5 of 30 three-pointers. Their defense was also lacking, allowing Ole Miss to convert an impressive 56.7% of their shots. As a result, the Cardinals found themselves on the wrong end of an 86-63 score, marking their second straight loss.
On the other hand, the Blue Devils may have had a rough start to the season, but they remain perennial contenders among the elite. Their two losses were extremely close, with a combined margin of just eight points against teams ranked in the top five of the AP rankings. Duke enters this game on a high note after a notable win over second-ranked Auburn.
