More on Louisville Cardinals vs Arkansas Razorbacks

Moreover, Louisville comes into the game of a myriad of disappointing defeats to begin their season.

First, the Cardinals were shockingly upset by Bellarmine in their opening game of the season, then dropping their next two results to Wright State and Appalachian State, as well. However, the Cardinals have lost each of their first three contests by one point each, so their fortunes could have easily been switched.

On the other hand, the Razorbacks have taken care of business in their first three showdowns, defeating their opponents by double-digits in each attempt. Arkansas has been led by guard Ricky Council IV, who’s averaging 18.7 points over the first three games of the season.

Anything is on the table when these two teams take the court later on Monday, and time will tell whether Louisville or Arkansas can escape victorious.
