A number of headlines surround Louisville basketball’s primetime match-up against Texas Tech on Tuesday night.
The opener of the Jimmy V Classic in Madison Square Garden will feature the No.1 Louisville Cardinals and the defending national runners-up Texas Tech.
Though Tech is on a three-game skid, this will be their first chance to play in a national spotlight game since their close loss to Virginia in last year’s national championship game.
The Red Raiders are 81-33 in their fourth year under rising star Chris Beard, and they should be more than ready to go for the Cardinals.
