From the booth

The model favored LOU to win, and the call missed.

Louisville's got this one, folks. The model's got the Cardinals at eighty-three percent to take down Wake Forest, and it comes down to a few things working in their favor. The betting market likes them, Vegas is spotting twelve and a half points, and being ranked sixteenth in the country versus an unranked Demon Deacons team matters in these conference matchups. Wake's got a slight edge in recent offensive efficiency, but it's not nearly enough to overcome Louisville's advantages at home.
