Two of college basketball’s consistent powerhouses are at a tipping point in their season on Saturday with Louisville basketball and Duke each sitting on two-game losing streaks.
The Blue Devils are in an unfamiliar place hovering just barely above .500 on the year. They have beaten the three worst teams in the ACC that have a 2-17 record combined. Duke has zero NCAA tournament resume building wins this year
Meanwhile, the Cardinals are on a personal two-game losing streak to two of Florida’s ACC schools in Miami and Florida State.
