Premium Pick

Louisville has won three of four and has a great opportunity for a statement game if the Cardinals can defeat the Tarheels tonight. The Cardinals obviously were looking ahead to this matchup as they avoided disaster beating Eastern Kentucky 78-76 on Saturday as a 21-point favorite. They shot 5-for-17 to open the game and committed six turnovers in the first nine meetings. North Carolina is only 2-7 ATS its past nine games and the Tarheels are just a slight underdog in this game. Louisville has balanced scoring with five players averaging double figures, including Reyne Smith, who shoots 37.3 percent from 3-point range. The game is close to pick 'em so take Louisville on the moneyline.
