Vols Host Louisville in Top 20 Showdown

The No. 20 Tennessee Volunteers are set to host the No. 11 Louisville Cardinals in a highly anticipated non-conference basketball clash. The Volunteers have established a dominant presence at home, maintaining an undefeated 5-0 record on their home court this season. Their offensive efficiency is notable, as they rank third in the SEC with an average of 18.7 assists per game.

Louisville, conversely, has struggled in away games, holding a 0-1 record outside of their home venue. Despite this, the Cardinals possess a dangerous offensive weapon in their three-point shooting, hitting an average of 13.2 three-pointers per game, significantly more than their opponents typically allow. This potent outside attack could pose a serious challenge to the Volunteers' defense.

The Volunteers' overall field goal shooting percentage stands at 46.8%, which is considerably higher than the 37.8% allowed by Louisville. Key players to watch include Tennessee's Ja'Kobi Gillespie, who leads the team in scoring and assists, and Louisville's Ryan Conwell, a prolific scorer for the Cardinals.
