On paper, UNC’s game against Louisville, should not be close. The Cardinals (10-5, 1-1) come into Chapel Hill for a 12:00pm contest, looking to extend a potential budding rivalry between the two traditional powerhouses. North Carolina (12-3, 2-0) will be looking to remain unbeaten in ACC play. Louisville is reeling from a close mid-week loss at Pittsburgh, where the Heels just scored a convincing win last weekend. That would be the same Pitt team that had lost 21 consecutive ACC games dating back to the 2017 conference tournament.
Fans would be unwise, however, to underestimate the second best team in Kentucky.
