The Louisville Cardinals are seeking just their third conference win of the season. It’s been a disastrous season for the program. They are an abysmal 2-15 in conference play due to horrible defense. Louisville managed to beat Clemson 83-73 on Saturday but was marked as large 17.5-point dogs in a 79-62 road loss to Duke on Monday night. Louisville has been assigned huge spreads and is keeping games within reach, covering the spread in four straight bouts.
