Both teams are coming off impressive victories in their most recent outings. Louisville dominated Pepperdine with an 85-63 win, putting an end to their three-game losing streak. Kentucky, on the other hand, narrowly defeated North Carolina with an 87-83 victory in a top-25 neutral-site contest.

Leading the scoring for Kentucky this season is Antonio Reeves, averaging 17.1 points per game. Rob Dillingham follows closely behind with 14.4 points per game, while fellow freshmen Reed Sheppard and D.J. Wagner contribute 12.8 points per contest. Tre Mitchell has been a solid performer with 12.7 points and a team-high 6.2 rebounds per game.

Among the signees are nine offensive players, including one quarterback, two running backs, two wide receivers, one tight end, and three offensive linemen. The Cardinals also added five defensive players, including one linebacker, two defensive linemen, and two defensive backs.

However, the Huskies are not to be taken lightly. They currently lead the country in scoring defense, allowing just 45.6 points per game. Washington has held their opponents to 50 points or less in seven of their 11 games this season. On the offensive end, the Cardinals have scored over 60 points in every game this season and have reached the 70-point mark in 10 of their 12 games.
