Cardinals Favored Heavily as Eastern Michigan Comes to Town

LOUISVILLE, KY – The Louisville Cardinals (5-0) are set to host the Eastern Michigan Eagles (3-2) tonight at 7 p.m. at the KFC Yum Center. The game will be broadcast on the ACC Network with Cooper Boardman on play-by-play and Randolph Childress providing analysis.

Louisville enters the contest as a massive 33.5-point favorite, looking to extend their undefeated start. The Cardinals lead the all-time series 1-0, having won their only previous meeting 86-53 in 2015.

Eastern Michigan, coached by Stan Heath, is looking for a signature win and his first winning season at the helm. While the Eagles have shown flashes of promise this season, with wins over Georgia State, Detroit-Mercy and Oakland, they are still considered a significant underdog due to a rebuilt roster featuring nine newcomers and a lack of size and skill.

Eastern Michigan’s offense revolves around redshirt freshman Mohammad Habhab, who leads the team in scoring (16.0 ppg), rebounding (10.8 rpg), and assists (4.2 apg). Guards Carlos Hart and Addison Patterson also contribute double-figure scoring.

For Louisville, a win would mark their first 6-0 start since the 2019-20 season and complete a perfect November. The Cardinals boast a dominant record against non-conference opponents at home.
