Tipoff is set for approximately 9:30 p.m. This is U of L's first matchup against a ranked opponent since losing to Kentucky on Dec. 14 at Rupp Arena. The Tigers sit three spots ahead of the No. 13 Cards in both the AP Top 25 and the USA TODAY Sports Men’s Basketball Coaches Poll.

Duke buckled down with a dominant stretch of defense in the second half of a 73-62 win against Louisville on Saturday at Spectrum Center. The Blue Devils (31-3) held the high-scoring Cardinals (27-7) below 70 points for the second time this season to win their 23rd ACC Tournament title.

If U of L wins its first March Madness game since 2017, it will get either No 1 Auburn — the tournament's top overall seed — or the winner of a No. 16 play-in game between Alabama State or Saint Francis on Saturday.
