Louisville vs Notre Dame Basketball Picks & Predictions
Louisville is on the road playing Notre Dame at the Purcell Pavilion at the Joyce Center stadium on Saturday, 1/28/2023 @ 12:00pm EST. Notre Dame -10.5 was the opening favorite and current line is Notre Dame -9.75.
On Saturday afternoon, Louisville will travel to Notre Dame in search of its first ACC win of the season. Nine straight games have ended with losses for the Cardinals, including Wednesday's 75-65 loss at Boston College. A four-game losing streak plagued Notre Dame, which won only one conference game.
The Cardinals are seeking their first win in the ACC
This season, Louisville has been one of the most disappointing teams in college basketball. The Cardinals have lost nine straight games. Only two wins have come since mid-December, when they beat Western Kentucky and Florida A&M. The team hasn't been within single digits since Jan. 3 when they lost to Syracuse 70-69. With 11:46 left on Wednesday night, the Cardinals led Boston College 48-45, but could not hold on down the stretch, falling 75-65.
Strong offense is key to the Fighting Irish's success
In its first five games, Notre Dame had an uneventful record of 5-0. As soon as the Fighting Irish lost to St. Bonaventure, Syracuse, Marquette, Georgia and Florida State in a seven-game stretch, warning signs began to appear. In the non-conference portion of their schedule, they won over Jacksonville, but have lost seven of their eight games since then. In league play, Notre Dame is currently 1-9 after falling to North Carolina State 85-82. In spite of their 51.9% shooting, 42.9% three-point shooting and 81% free throw percentage, the Fighting Irish still fell short against NC State, which hit just 41.2% of its shots.
Notre Dame should run away with this game even though neither team has shown much promise this season. Louisville won't be able to keep up with the Fighting Irish on Saturday, as they have a strong offensive team. Over the last nine games, the Cardinals have covered the spread just twice in South Bend. As a 9-2 home team, Notre Dame should not be concerned about a Louisville team that is winless away from home. Cardinals have covered the spread only six times in their last 20 games, so they are used to losing.
Louisville Highlights
With a power ranking of 319, Louisville is ranked #348 in offense (scoring an average of 62.50 per game), #319 in defense (allowing an average of 75.20 points to be scored against them per game) and are 2-18 (6-14 ATS) this season.
Notre Dame Highlights
Notre Dame Fighting Irish has a power ranking of 270 and are #206 for offense (scoring an average of 70.48 per game), #254 for defense (giving up an average of 75.20 points per game) and 9-12 (4-16-1 ATS) overall. Louisville went 2-1 (1-2 ATS) in their last 3 matchups against Notre Dame.
