Louisville is looking to bounce back after two tough losses in the Empire Classic in New York. They fell to No. 19/17 Texas on a last-second shot and saw a late lead slip away against Indiana. Despite these setbacks, the Cardinals have a 4-1 advantage in the series against New Mexico State and have won their last three meetings.

Despite the loss, the Cardinals have a strong track record when scoring 70 points or more. In fact, they are an impressive 86-5 in their last 91 games when surpassing this scoring threshold.

The Cardinals have their sights set on their 11th win of the season, a feat they haven’t achieved since 2012. Furthermore, Louisville is determined to end their four-game losing streak against the Wildcats and secure their first home win since 2014.

Both teams are coming into this game with high hopes and a lot on the line. Kentucky is looking to end their regular season on a positive note and secure a bowl game bid. The Wildcats, led by head coach Mark Stoops, currently hold a record of 7-4 overall and 4-4 in the Southeastern Conference (SEC).

Louisville faced off against Georgia Tech earlier in the month and came up short, losing in four sets. The Cardinals are eager for another shot at the Yellow Jackets and hope to secure a victory this time around.

After securing their 10th win of the season with a 38-31 victory over Miami, the Cardinals earned a spot in the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) title game, marking their first appearance in any conference championship.

Louisville’s sophomore guard, Skyy Clark, showcased his clutch shooting by sinking a crucial 3-pointer with 1:20 remaining to give the Cardinals an 80-78 lead. However, the Longhorns responded with a free throw and then capitalized on a shot clock violation to gain possession with 7.9 seconds left. That’s when Abmas sealed the deal with his game-winning shot.
