My Prediction
Louisville Cardinals by 11It is time to get down to brass tacks. We have the Louisville Cardinals at #19, who have been flying high with a 21-6 regular season record, paying a visit to the Virginia Tech Hokies, who are yet to crack the AP rankings and hold a tenuous 12-15 record.
The Cardinals have Terrence Edwards, which is already a win in itself, because this chap has been raining 19.6 points per game over the past month. Another lady luck on their side is Chucky Hepburn, who's also been on fire, scoring an average of 17.2 points with 5.0 assists per game in the past month.
On the other hand, if tech specs were people, then the Hokies have Toibu Lawal and Ben Burnham to flaunt. Lawal has been putting up impressive numbers with 13.9 points and 8.5 rebounds per game in the last month, while Burnham has been consistently scoring 8.0 points per game.
But, if we rewind and look at the good old days, the Hokies have had the upper hand in past matchups, taking the Cardinals down in their last three face-offs. However, it's important to remember that life is like a box of chocolates; you never know what you're going to get.
Speaking of recent performances, the Cardinals have been showcasing quite a spectacle, leaving no stones unturned in all five of their recent games. Meanwhile, the Hokies have been a mixed bag. They hit the nets spectacularly against Miami Hurricanes and Notre Dame Fighting Irish but were kind of unlucky against Boston College Eagles and Virginia Cavaliers.
Accumulating all the facts, and doing some mystical commentator magic, I conclude:
Albert’s Prediction: Louisville Cardinals by 11
