With two losses in their last four games, the Louisville Cardinals (13) need to get back on track when they visit the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, a team that has been slowly advancing on them.

With a self-imposed postseason ban, March Madness for Louisville is now and they will look to start their stretch run with a road win over a tough ACC foe. Louisville will also get a shot to avenge their recent losses to Duke and Virginia.

Tipoff: 4 p.m. ET in South Bend, Ind.

Notre Dame is a half-game behind Louisville for third in the ACC and is one-and-a-half games off the conference lead. After hosting Louisville, the Irish will have a relatively soft schedule the rest of the way, except for Miami.

However, Louisville would love nothing more than to play spoiler to the rest of the ACC and will return home next week to host Syracuse and Duke. Louisville then finishes its regular season with road games against Miami and Virginia in its last three games.
