4. Louisville Is Their 3rd Straight Top Ten Opponent In-A-Row

The Cardinals aren’t the only team in college basketball who is going through a tough stretch of games right now. Georgia Tech has played North Carolina and Duke over the past two games and will also have to play #9 Louisville on Saturday afternoon.

While they did struggle mightily against the Blue Devils, they did pick up a very nice win against the Tar Heels last weekend.

The important thing to know is that G-Tech played North Carolina down in Atlanta and that is where the Cards will be heading after their game against the Fighting Irish.

With that being said, we have to be aware that this Yellow Jackets basketball team is capable of pulling off the upset in their own arena.
