       The Louisville Cardinals go on the road to Cincinnati late Thursday night to take on the Bearcats. This will not be an easy one for the Cards, it will be a very physical game and it will be some what of a hostile environment (especially since it will be a black out for Cincinnati fans. The Bearcats play small, they do have some size on the bench. Both teams are 9-5 in the Big East, Cincinnati is still on the bubble watch and a win against Louisville would help their resume. Louisville is in the NCAA tournament but are looking for a good seed.
        Cincinnati's biggest issue has been emotions getting the better of them. Yancey Gates continues to struggle with keeping his cool coach Mick Cronin is very excitable. If the Cards can stay focused and keep their composure Louisville should have no problems bringing home a victory.
