The #1 ranked Louisville Cardinals travel to Madison Square Garden to face the Texas Tech Red Raiders in New York, NY tonight.
Chris Beard’s group has lost 3 games (Iowa, Creighton, DePaul) in a row playing with out stand out Jahmi’us Ramsey. Texas Tech was the National Runner-Up last year falling to Virginia in the National Championship game and was in the Elite 8 a year prior. Beard is one of the best coaches in college basketball and Louisville fans should not expect for TT to be a walk over tonight. The Red Raiders are extremely difficult to put away despite having lost 3 in a row.
