The Louisville Cardinals face off against the NC State Wolfpack this Wednesday at the Lenovo Center. Louisville enters the game with a strong 18-6 record, fresh off an 88-78 victory over Miami. The team has been impressive, winning their last two games, with standout players like Chucky Hepburn, who leads the team in scoring and assists. The Cardinals average 79.2 PPG this season and are known for their night-game dominance, particularly against non-ranked opponents.

NC State, however, is struggling, having lost eight consecutive games, including a close 74-73 defeat to Stanford. Their top scorers, Marcus Hill and Jayden Taylor, are key to their offense, but the team has been inconsistent and has struggled with close matchups and larger defeats. The Wolfpack will look to break their losing streak, especially after having previously won four straight games against Louisville.

Given Louisville’s momentum and NC State’s current slump, Louisville is favored to win, with their strong recent form and overall offensive strength likely to be too much for the struggling Wolfpack.
