The Louisville Cardinals are playing the Duke Blue Devils in ACC Tournament play on Thursday. The game is scheduled for a 2:00 p.m. start time and it will be televised nationally on ESPN. The college basketball odds for the game have the Cardinals favored by the slimmest of margins to pick up the win.

College Basketball Odds
Louisville -1
Total: 147.5 points

Duke picked up a nice win on Wednesday, falling behind Clemson in the first half but coming back to advance in the tournament. Nobody seems to know what is going on with Grayson Allen, but Duke was able to win without him on Wednesday. Allen picked up three quick fouls and only played 12 total minutes, including getting a technical for saying the magic word while slamming down the basketball.

So how does Duke respond? Jayson Tatum, Frank Jackson and Luke Kennard each scored 20 points against Clemson, but with how Louisville plays defense that seems very tough to be able to repeat.

Earlier this season the Cardinals beat Duke 78-69. Four Louisville players scored in double figures and Duke actually shot the ball well (47 percent) but still couldn’t get the win. Allen had 23 in that game for Duke, but it doesn’t look like he will have the same type of impact in this one.

Louisville wants to play this game in the 60s.
