Two top-ranked women's basketball programs will go head-to-head this week as No. 22 Louisville hosts No. 3 South Carolina.
Despite some tough losses to national No. 1 UConn and rival No. 17 Kentucky, the Cardinals stand strong at 7-2. Heading into this ACC/SEC Challenge, Louisville is riding the momentum of wins over Eastern Illinois, East Tennessee State and Bellarmine.
Up until Thursday, South Carolina had been undefeated. The Gamecocks eventually fell to No. 4 Texas in a 66-64 nail-biter during the Players Era Championship tournament in Las Vegas. They'll now look to redeem themselves on the road before conference play starts.
