The Deacs are back at home tonight to take on the 16th ranked Louisville Cardinals, their third straight top 25 opponent. The Cards have just 1 loss this season against 10-3 Wisconsin and boast some solid wins over Seton Hall, Kentucky, and Virginia Tech. This is definitely going to be another very tough game for Wake Forest, and they must do a better job limiting turnovers tonight if they are to have any chance at beating the Cardinals. Let’s do this thing. Go Deacs!
