Nothing quite screams January basketball like an intense battle between conference foes. The cherry on top is when both teams are ranked, which is what the college basketball world will be treated to on Thursday night when No. 3 Louisville visits No. 4 NC State.
The Cardinals haven’t lost a game since the opening day of the college basketball season when they fell in overtime to the Arizona Wildcats. Their 15-game win streak will be tested against the Wolfpack, who have planted themselves in the AP Top 10 throughout the entirety of the season.
Let’s dive into what’s could make this game great.
