The Louisville Cardinals will be up for this game at home, but they’re also a team that’s falling apart, losing their last five games by an average of 7.8 points, and they just fired their coach. The Duke Blue Devils are far and away more trustworthy, and their offense is shooting 50.9 percent from the field and 41.7 percent from three in their last five games. It’s Duke or pass for me.
