2. Mikel Brown Jr. pops off
Entering this game, all eyes are on the 5-star phenom Mikel Brown Jr. The Cardinals' point guard has incredibly high expectations, as all offseason, Louisville fans have heard he is a potential lottery pick in the NBA Draft. The Cardinals saw him take over in a preseason game, but in the first two regular-season games, he was a playmaker, distributing the ball and making the right plays.
However, tonight is the game, the 5-star is going to pop off. After a letdown performance against Kansas, Brown is going to show up and show out tonight and prove why he is one of the best players in the league. The bold prediction is that he will splash at least four 3-pointers and finish with at least 20 points and eight assists or more. Brown is going to take over this game and be the best player on the court tonight.
