Louisville's win lifted them to 4-0 while South Carolina Upstate's loss dropped them down to 1-4. Two numbers to keep in mind before tip-off: U of L enters the contest with 56.60% field goal percentage, good for best in college basketball. But the Spartans have been holding their opponents to a field goal percentage of 47.20%, which places them 30th in college basketball. We'll see which of these strengths -- offense or defense -- will win out.
