Today’s matchup between Louisville basketball and Duke is a game that I circled right away when perusing through the Cardinals schedule shortly after it was announced last year. While the Blue Devils no longer had the likes of Zion Williamson, R.J. Barrett, and Cam Reddish, it was without question a matchup that could go a long way in determining who’s at the top of the ACC.
That rings true today as Louisville and Duke’s matchup will be in-part a matchup to determine who sits atop the ACC standings and it will also be the first time these two teams have met since the Cards complete debacle last season that saw them blow a 23-point first-half lead.
