Louisville vs. Stanford: March 13th, 2025
(NCAAB) Cardinal (STAN) vs. Cardinals (LOU),
Point Spread: -10.50 | -110.00 Cardinals (LOU) (Home)
Result: Loss
We'll head to the ACC Tournament for this one, and a matchup between Cardinals and the Cardinal. Louisville has turned things around in a big way this season behind first-year head coach Pat Kelsey. They're big favorites in this one, and I think this is a blowout in the making.

Louisville got a double-bye in this tournament and comes in fresh. They're also 18-2 in the ACC and have lost just one game since December 21st. Their last game came against this very Stanford team, and they suffocated them defensively in a 68-48 drubbing where the Cardinal shot just 30.4% from the floor.

Stanford, meanwhile, played an emotional game against rival Cal yesterday and edged the Golden Bears despite getting mauled 34-21 on the glass. Credit where it's due, Stanford has now won 20 games this season, but the quick turnaround and going against one of this conference's premier teams (a squad that crushed them less than a week ago) doesn't seem like a recipe for success.

This isn't a small spread, but I also don't think it's a small disparity in talent. Take Louisville and root for a blowout.
