Louisville Cardinals vs Clemson Tigers Picks and Predictions January 7th 2025
Improved and hungry for continued success, Louisville will face a significant test Tuesday night when it hosts Clemson in a high-stakes Atlantic Coast Conference matchup. The Cardinals (10-5, 3-1 ACC) are riding a four-game winning streak, their best run since the 2020-21 season. First-year head coach Pat Kelsey has energized the program with a disciplined and balanced approach. Louisville’s impressive recent victories over Florida State, North Carolina, and Virginia have sparked optimism and vaulted the Cardinals into ESPN’s projected NCAA Tournament field as one of the “last four in.” Kelsey, however, remains laser-focused on the immediate task. “Our sole focus, 100 percent focus, is to get ready for one of the best teams in our entire conference in a big-time

They opened conference play Saturday with an 84-68 win over Missouri, led by Johni Broome’s 24 points.

Missouri Tigers vs Lsu Tigers Picks and Predictions January 7th 2025
It’s a Tiger vs. Tiger showdown as LSU and Missouri go head-to-head on Tuesday night in Columbia, Mo. Both teams are coming off losses in their SEC openers and are hungry to turn things around. With strong pre-conference records, they’re eager to prove they belong in the mix as the SEC season heats up. LSU’s first SEC game didn’t go as planned. They fell 80-72 at home to Vanderbilt, struggling with turnovers and giving up too many second-chance points. Missouri’s road to their first SEC win just got longer after an 84-68 loss at No. 2 Auburn. That marked their 21st straight SEC defeat, but this team has shown flashes of potential. This game is all about who can shake
