ESPN: According to ESPN analytics, the Cards have a 42.4% chance of beating the Tigers at the Yum! Center on Tuesday night. This is now three conference home games in a row that ESPN has predicted the Cards to lose. Louisville is 1-1 in that stretch with a loss to Duke and a win against North Carolina.
Kenpom: Kenpom disagrees with ESPN analytics’ prediction. Kenpom gives the Cards a 57% chance of winning the game on Tuesday night, with a predicted final score of 73-71 in favor of the Cardinals.
Personal: I tend to lean more toward Kenpom. Recently I have been very lackluster with these predictions but I have a good confidence about this game. I think Pat Kelsey will have our guys ready to go and prepared on Tuesday. Cards 75, Tigers 70.
