Louisville Cardinals
Since the loss to Texas Tech in New York City, Louisville has taken care of business against two cupcakes and enjoyed ten days off leading up to its rivalry game in Lexington.

Jordan Nwora took the big leap between his freshman and sophomore seasons and averaged seventeen points per game a season ago.
He has taken another, smaller step this year and has been the scoring star Louisville needed with its cast of good, smart, but not necessarily the most talented core of seniors.
Nwora has over twenty-one points per game to his name on over fifty-two percent from two, forty-one from three and eighty from the free throw line. At 6’7″ he’s a terrific rebounder (7.5 per game).
When Nwora is the best player on the floor, Louisville is nearly impossible to beat with the aforementioned cast of Ryan McMahon, Steven Enoch and Dwayne Sutton.
Kentucky Wildcats
Nwora is certainly capable of being the best on the floor in this game but it isn’t likely with all the talent Kentucky has.
Two losses before the holiday dropped Kentucky all the way down to No. 19 in the national poll. The thing is, both games out in Vegas were close and against worthy opponents.
There is just no way eighteen teams are better than the ‘Cats. The upward climb begins again in this matchup.
Forward Nate Sestina returned to the lineup against Utah and played big minutes against Ohio State in the losing effort. He led Kentucky with seventeen points in thirty-two minutes.
None of Ohio State’s eight players attempted more than seven shots in the win over Kentucky. Not even Louisville will feature that sort of balance.
With the ‘Cats able to key in on Nwora, they have the edge, especially with more than one body to throw at Louisville’s integral forward.

Free Louisville Cardinals vs. Kentucky Wildcats NCAAB Prediction: Kentucky wins by just short of double-digits.
There shouldn’t be any cause for concern after two straight losses for Kentucky. The ‘Cats deserved to be solid favorites on their home floor, where this handicapper wouldn’t be surprised if they didn’t lose again after the Evansville disaster earlier this season.
That said, there’s a lot of room for this team to grow. Whether or not it molds into a national contender in the second half of the regular season will depend on how the individual talent comes together to play as one.
