Louisville vs. Duke prediction, odds & picks for Mar. 7 | College basketball season 2024-25
The sixth-seeded Louisville Cardinals (21-9, 13-5 Atlantic Coast Conference) and the third-seeded Duke Blue Devils (23-7, 14-4) are getting ready to square off in the quarterfinals of the ACC tournament at the First Horizon Coliseum in Greensboro, North Carolina, on Friday evening. The Cardinals are coming off a nailbiting 70–68 overtime win against the Clemson Tigers in the tournament's second round on Thursday.
The Blue Devils had a bye to the quarterfinals due to their seeding in the ACC tournament. However, they finished the regular season on a three-game winning streak after a 71–57 road win over the Florida State Seminoles on Sunday. Let's look at the betting odds and discuss which bets we should be placing.
Louisville vs. Duke prediction
These teams are familiar with one another, as they just played a few weeks ago, but the seeding will show a different story. The Cardinals should keep the game close and have momentum after freshman Tajianna Roberts scored seven of her 16 points in the fourth quarter/overtime.
This Louisville team will be tired after an overtime game, but they have proven to play Duke well. Duke is the better team though and should be able to depend on Toby Fournier to get some big baskets.
In terms of the total, these teams play solid brands of defense so expect the under to hit.
