Louisville has managed to rise to the occasion at times this season, so seeing the Cardinals step up tonight is certainly not out of the question, but UNC is a team that is too talented for the Cardinals. Since the loss at Duke, UNC has looked pretty unstoppable, beating N.C. State and Virginia by 24 each. UNC has an offense that will put up too high a number for the Cardinals to keep up with tonight.
