The Louisville Cardinals are off to a disappointing 0-9 start and will look to get a tally in the win column on Wednesday when they host Western Kentucky.
Western Kentucky Hilltoppers (-7, 131) vs. Louisville Cardinals
The Cardinals are tasked with having to bust through a Western Kentucky defense that has national leader in blocked shots Jamarion Sharp, who stands 7-foot-8 and is averaging 4.8 blocks per game.
No other player in college basketball is averaging more than 3.5 blocks per game and should make it difficult for a Louisville team that ranks 358th in the country in points scored on a per possession basis to get in rhythm.
