And the way the top echelon of college basketball is shaping out, the No. 2 Louisville Cardinals have a chance to be the top-ranked team in the country next week. That is, of course, if they get past a WKU team that has a recent knack for playing its best games on the biggest stage.
The Hilltoppers (6-1) and No. 2 Cardinals (6-0) will play in one of the hottest venues in the south when they tip off at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena at 4 p.m. CST Friday.
WKU is off to its best start since the 2006-07 season and has gone 3-1 against ranked Power Five opponents since the 2017-18 season.
