The Louisville Cardinals have a tough road ahead of them as they will face the Duke Blue Devils tonight at Cameron Indoor Arena. The Cardinals are coming off of 3 straight double-digit losses while Duke is coming off a loss to Wake Forest on the road.

Louisville faced a devastating 22-point loss to Notre Dame at home last Wednesday and haven't played a game since. Duke had been on a 5-game win streak before falling on the road to the Demon Deacons, and are looking to finally win at home after being on the road for 3 straight games.

Duke's Kyle Filipowski and Tyrese Proctor dominated the game between the Blue Devils and the Cardinals last time as Duke defeated the Cardinals by 14 points at the Yum Center.

This game will come down to the the guard play for Louisville and how Brandon Huntley-Hatfield plays against Duke's bigs. Skyy Clark and Ty-Laur Johnson will likely be available for tonight's game, and it will all come down to how they can distribute the play and make better plays for their team than Duke's guards can.

It will be a very tough matchup on the road for Louisville and will very interesting to see how the Cardinals perform in the last road game of the season.
