Kentucky vs Louisville basketball live stream: TV Channel Schedule, Radio, Preview
The Kentucky Wildcats take on the Louisville Cardinals in one of the most anticipated college basketball games on Saturday, December 27 at the KFC Yum! Center.
Kentucky (12-0) defeated Louisville (11-0) 74-69 in last season’s Sweet 16. However, this is a different ballgame and the Cardinals are ready to play with such intent of dominating the top-ranked Wildcats.
One of the stumbling blocks of Louisville in college basketball is Kentucky. The Cardinals have lost six of seven in the series and they have to exert a lot of energy in order to win this game.
Kentucky has been so aggressive this season by winning an average margin of 29 points. The offensive juggernaut of the Wildcats is so vast that it would take a total collapse to defeat it. Kentucky will have to play efficient on the road, where the environment could be hostile.
Louisville will take this game with great importance. The Cardinals have the crowd to boost their morale and confidence.
Offensively, Kentucky averages 76.8 points per game, 47.5 percent field goal, 65.9 percent free-throw, and 31.4 3-pointer. Louisville averages 77.3 points per game, 44.1 percent field goal, 64.1 percent free-throw, and 29.0 percent 3-pointer.
For Kentucky, probable starters are Andrew Harrison, Aaron Harrison, Trey Lyles, Karl Anthony Towns and Willie Cauley-Stein. Louisville’s probable starters are Chris Jones, Terry Rozier, Wayne Blacshear, Montrezl Harrell and Chinanu Onuako.
”It’s kind of hard not to hear it,” Kentucky 7-footer Willie Cauley-Stein said Friday. ”It’s just whether you take it in or not. I’ve been in this little game for a long time, it feels like, and the college game is so different. One game you can be really good, one game you can be really bad, and it’s just the draw of the day.’
