I follow U of L very closely, and have done well with their games. For what that is worth, here is my analysis for tonights game:
U of L has put together a nice string of games and is climbing in the rankings, Depaul is coming off a nice win over ECU and their RPI is moving up. Depaul has lost 4 times; at Notre Dame in the beginning of the season, at St. Joes, at Cincinnati and UNLV at home. The only blowout loss is at N.D. with the rest of their losses less than 10 points. The Cards have to travel to Tenn. this weekend to play the Volunteers and may be content with a 10-12 point lead late in the game, although Pitino is known not to let up. Cards have a little height advantage inside and Stone will probably score 20, but I have to go against the Cards in this one (only spread wise
) final score:
Louisville 75
Depaul 63
Depaul +16 (2 units)
