We have finally reached March Madness and the round of 64 kicks off with a big game with a lot of good talking points.
In this game the Louisville Cardinals and the Minnesota Golden Gophers face off in Iowa. It takes Richard Pitino going against his dad’s former team.
These teams faced off in 2014 with the Cardinals winning 81-68.
Minnesota Golden Gophers
The Minnesota Golden Gophers were on the bubble until a nice last couple of weeks of play led them to a 10 seed in the tournament.
Coming into this game they have won two of the last three games with the only loss coming against the Michigan Wolverines.
For the Golden Gophers they are led by Amir Coffey and Jordan Murphy and they are going to need to be big in this game, especially Coffey.
On the season Coffey is averaging 16.3 points per game and when the Gophers are at their best he is aggressive and attacking defenses.

One thing to watch is the status of Matz Stockman who is dealing with a concussion. The Gophers play a limited bench and losing him would be a big loss.
Louisville Cardinals
On the other side of this matchup is the Louisville Cardinals who were impressive to start the season but haven’t been as sharp the last month and a half.
Over the last seven games they have only two wins, but they have played a tough ACC schedule so the hope is that will help them in the tournament.
On the season the Cardinals offense is averaging 74.8 points per game and when they have the most success is when they are pushing the pace.

In this game they need to get good play on the defensive side from the big men to try and slow down Murphy and the rest of the Gophers big.
