Louisville Cardinals

Free Clemson Tigers vs. Louisville Cardinals NCAAB Prediction:
Expect the Tigers to bring their defense intensity for this all-important matchup versus Louisville. However, one should expect the Cardinals to get back on track due to an offense for Clemson that struggles on the road. Matching up with the Cardinals at this moment will certainly not be the best for the visitors. In all, Louisville will pull out a 77-73 win on Saturday as they will extend Clemson’s road troubles.
4* Free CBB Betting Pick: Louisville by 4 / Under 132½
Look for the home team to assert themselves early on defense as they will be looking to calm any threats from Reed and company. Also, look for Nwora to remain solid versus a stingy Clemson defense in what will be an exciting, low-scoring affair.
