2. The Cardinals know how to win big games
The Cardinals are no strangers to the spotlight and are well-equipped to take on the pressure of a big game. They did this once already in just the third game of the season, as they took down another SEC foe in Kentucky. They did so on the back of Brown Jr., as the superstar freshman showed out in his first big game with 29 points.
On the other hand, Arkansas has not been able to win big games this season. The Razorbacks are 0-2 against ranked opponents and have had closer games than they would have liked. Their two losses, like previously said, come from Michigan State and Duke, but they were also taken down to the wire by Samford and Winthrop.
The matchup on Wednesday doesn’t seem like the day for these narratives to change. Louisville is looking to make a massive statement and prove it is a top team in the nation, and this game gives Louisville that opportunity.
