The Louisville Cardinals are the more talented team here, and they have a defense that travels, but this isn’t a great Louisville team and the lack of offense makes them tough to get behind, especially on the road. The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets have flaws of their own and haven’t played since December 21, but they will have the best player on the court here, and they have the ability to make things ugly. Tough game, but I want the free bucket with the home team.
