Basketball season has officially began & the polls are in full swing. After a pair of games that Louisville won by an average of 32 ppg, Louisville rose one spot in both the AP & the coaches polls this week. They will have plenty of opportunities in the new 3 weeks to jump/solidify/fall down & get back up, The Cards start off their tougher portion of the schedule on Sunday at 1 pm on ESPN at the FedEx Forum vs Memphis. Memphis is playing at a much higher level than most thought prior to the season so you can count this one as an extra test…as if we needed one.
The Memphis series is a throwback to the conferences of old. Through the MVC, Metro, C-USA & American Conferences, the Cards lead the series at 55-36. Louisville won the very first match-up in this series 72-53 all the way back in Memphis on January 6th, 1949! The Cards also won the last match-up between these two teams last season 99-73 here at the YUM! UofL has won 7 out of the last 10 meetings in this series including 3 wins in Memphis, 2 wins in Louisville at the YUM, 1 at Freedom Hall, & 1 at MSG in the Gotham Classic. Here are the polls. We hope you enjoy!
