A top-ranked ACC showdown is set for Tuesday as No. 20 Louisville gets ready to host No. 6 Duke.
With much talent in the ACC this season, Louisville enters this matchup at 11-3 and 1-1 against conference opponents. During a trip to northern California last week, the Cards split their wins and losses, defeating Cal handily and falling just short against Stanford. Louisville now returns home for a tougher challenge in Duke.
Meanwhile, Duke is undefeated in conference matchups and have only dropped one loss on the season. The Blue Devils (13-1) have taken down tough competitors like Kansas, Florida and Michigan State, with their lone loss coming against Texas Tech in December.
