The 9-0 #1 Louisville Cardinals head to Madison Square Garden for the Jimmy V classic to battle the Texas Tech Red Raiders. Louisville is looking to extend its current nine-game winning streak after defeating Pittsburgh 64-46 on Friday. Texas Tech lost 65-60 in overtime at DePaul last Wednesday.

MATCHUP SUMMARY
The Louisville Cardinals are off to a good start this year which is why they’re ranked number 1 in the NCAA. However, Texas Tech is underrated and should be ready for this matchup as they are a well-coached defense first type of team. The Red Raiders and the Cardinals play really good defense so the first thing you can count on is a low-scoring game even though they both put up a lot of points. This game should come down to the end Louisville has a better chance of winning but I wouldn’t count on them to cover the spread.
