The Louisville Cardinals and Miami Hurricanes are both trailing the North Carolina Tar Heels by one game in the ACC standings. However, Miami still has so much to look forward to (you know, like the 2016 NCAA tournament and ACC tourney), and Louisville doesn’t (postseason bans are cruel).
In preparation for one of the biggest games of the weekend, let’s unleash five bold predictions for Louisville vs. Miami.
Side Note: Remember, these predictions are bold for a reason — we’re taking a long shot here.

Sheldon McClellan is leading the Hurricanes on the season in scoring with 15.7 PPG, and he will lead the Hurricanes in scoring in this game. Perhaps a 17-point outing (or more) will be in store for McClellan.

One leading scorer to another, Damion Lee, the leading scorer of the Cardinals, will be the only bright spot on offense for the, well, Cardinals. I mean, he is only one of two players averaging double figures in scoring for Louisville.
3. Stingy Defense Will Be The Name Of The Game

High-scoring affairs are where it's at, but Louisville is only giving up 60.8 PPG and Miami is only allowing 66.3 PPG. The winner might not even crack the 70-point mark given those averages...
2. Hurricanes Impress The Tourney Committee With Big Win

Miami could still earn a No. 1 seed in the dance, folks. If it wins out (including the ACC tourney), the Hurricanes will certainly deserve a No. 1 seed. Nonetheless, knocking off Louisville would provide yet another resume booster.

Speaking of winning out, Miami will win this game and the ones against Notre Dame and Virginia Tech ... in bold prediction fashion, that is. The contest against the Fighting Irish will be played on the road, just to raise the bold meter a bit.
