Will Pat Kelsey and Louisville basketball score a win today vs. Jon Scheyer's Duke Blue Devils? UofL basketball game odds, expert prediction:
The No. 16 Cardinals (11-3, 1-1 ACC) fall to 1-3 in true road games this season, with the lone win coming against Cal in their Atlantic Coast Conference opener this past Tuesday. Louisville has not won their first two games in conference play since the 2021-22 season.
Minnesota trailed by four in the final 20 seconds of the game when Isaac Asuma hit a triple to bring the Gophers back within one. But, leading by three in the final 10 seconds, Stanford wisely fouled Minnesota with four seconds left, before it could get up a potential game-tying 3-point attempt.
By its own well-established standards, last season was a massive disappointment for Stanford. It hopes to return to the NCAA tournament in March.
