The No. 6 Louisville Cardinals will get back into the swing of the season after a much-needed Thanksgiving break as they travel to Bud Walton Arena to take on the No. 25 Arkansas Razorbacks. Not only is the game a top-25 matchup for the Cardinals, but it will also feature some familiar foes in coach John Calipari and the historically unsuccessful Kenny Payne. The test will be yet another obstacle that Pat Kelsey and crew will face early in the season, helping them prepare for the exciting March anticipated later this season.
Another win for the Cardinals, especially on the road against a top-25 opponent, will significantly strengthen their resume and should be a highly regarded win come March.
