Louisville will be without Kasean Porter for the remainder of the season with a knee injury. The Cardinals play at a fast pace and take a lot of threes. However, they’re only making them at 28.7%. Ole Miss doesn’t defend the perimeter the best but with at the rate the Cardinals shoot them, there’s a lot of variance. Ole Miss hasn’t played a road game yet, but on neutral floors, they’re shooting 40.3% from beyond the arc and the better free throw shooting team.

I'm hopping on Ole Miss early. I make Louisville -1 here and think this number will go down. The Rebels' ball pressure defense should cause havoc against a Louisville team that ranks 225th in turnover percentage. Also, the Cardinals just lost Kasean Pryor for the season. He averages 12 points and 6 rebounds, so it's a huge blow for the Cardinals. I'm surprised the line opened so high with Pryor out. Give me Ole Miss getting over a possession on the opener.
