#11 Louisville Cardinals at #21 Notre Dame

This 9:00pm game is going to be playing in front of thousands of screaming Fighting Irish fans in South Bend. Louisville better be ready to succeed in that environment, or this Notre Dame squad could send them home packing early in the game. However, this won’t be Louisville’s first rodeo, they should be just fine.

2016 Wins: Bryant, Seattle, Loyola, Colorado, Northwestern, Chicago State, Iowa, North Carolina A&T, and Fort Wayne

2016 Losses: #1 Villanova

Well, at least Notre Dame beat Fort Wayne. In all seriousness, this is a very good Fighting Irish basketball team that nearly knocked off the defending National Champions on the road last Saturday.

These guys are experienced and can shoot the basketball very well. Something will have to give in this matchup between a top offense and a top defense.
