Louisville & Virginia Tech met at the KFC Yum! Center in January and the Cards knocked off the Hokies 94-86. A month and a half later the two will meet in Blacksburg. VT has won 7 of its last 9 and owns wins over UNC, Clemson, Virginia, Ole Miss, Washington and Iowa. Buzz Williams’ squad is one of the best offensive teams in the nation. Louisville must get stops, must rebound and they have to keep scoring if they hope to get this road win.
