No. 19 Louisville Cardinals vs Duke Blue Devils
This isn’t going to be just another matchup for the Louisville Cardinals. Coming off a strong week in which they beat both No. 2 North Carolina and stomped on Boston College, the Cardinals’ season has very little meaning now since Louisville has imposed a postseason ban on itself, flushing any hope of a Final Four run down the toilet.

Rick Pitino’s Cardinals are one of the best clubs in the ACC and it’s a shame that their season has to go down this way. Still, they have a chance to ruin another team’s year and Duke is the next victim on the schedule. Even with nothing to play for, Damion Lee and Trey Lewis will be major impact players — if both play. Lee was out Saturday with an injury.
On the other hand, the Duke Blue Devils still have a postseason to play for and with a 17-6 record and four losses in seven games, they’ll need a strong finish to the year for a quality seed. One year after winning the national title, Mike Krzyzewski and the Blue Devils are in danger of not even getting a top-seven seed.
Sophomore Grayson Miller has taken over the role of offensive leader for this team, putting up 20.9 points, 4.7 rebounds and 3.7 assists while shooting over 42 percent from three-point range. Freshman sensation Brandon Ingram has also been solid, averaging 16.9 points and 6.6 rebounds per contest.
