Louisville vs Minnesota 3/21/19 - NCAA Tournament Picks & Predictions

The Louisville Cardinals ended up losing in their tournament to North Carolina. However, the Cardinals are a team that did not really look well polished in their loss to the Tar Heels. What else did not really help the Cardinals out was the fact their defense looked a little bit overwhelmed in the game. The Cardinals, though, are going to be playing against the Golden Gophers who looked a little bit overwhelmed in the Big Ten this season. The Golden Gophers, though, were completely dominated by the Michigan Wolverines in the Big Ten tournament and that could definitely make it difficult for the Golden Gophers to look impressive here. With the Golden Gophers the offense on the season was able to score only 70.8 points a game. The defenses of the Golden Gophers allowed only 69.2 points a game so far. The Golden Gophers were able to get a total of 14.9 assist a game, but also pulled down a total of 37 boards a game.
