But the Cards are also getting a team that has already pulled off an upset of Utah and will be hungry for one more.

If freshman Samardo Samuels can keep Arizona center Jordan Hill from going off big time. Louisville’s pressure should keep Arizona from doing much from the outside. Samuels will get a lot of help from fellow freshman center Terrence Jennings in dealing with Hill.

Louisville doesn’t make too many adjustments to their basic pressing zone defense, running four guards in and out to keep them fresh. Louisville also will hit the boards hard on Arizona, with their three front-court players playing very aggressively off the boards.

The 9-point favored Cardinals are 6-2-1 ATS in their last nine NCAA Tournament games as a favorite.
