Gonna be tough; Louisville will want to make up for this weekend's loss to Miami, and we historically don't play well in the Yum (or previously Freedom Hall).
 
Florida State (7-2, 3-1) vs. Louisville (9-2, 4-1)

KFC Yum! Center, Louisville, Kentucky; Monday, 7 p.m. EST

STREAK SCORING: Louisville has won its last six home games, scoring an average of 74.3 points while giving up 60.3.

STIFLING DEFENSE: Louisville has held opposing teams to only 39.8 percent shooting, the lowest percentage among all ACC teams.

 
Wait, Louisville plays in the KFC YUM Center?

At most universities this would be the most embarrassing thing in 20 years, at Louisville it's like 5th or 6th.
 
FSU has a difficult schedule, but should climb by winning this week. We'll see.
 
Wait, what?

ACC IMPROVEMENT: The Seminoles have scored 66.4 points per game against conference opponents so far, an improvement from the 76.8 per game they managed against non-conference opponents.

I am very confused by that, although I understand that we need to start scoring another 2.6 ppg in-conference.

Jeez. Noles are simply exploding on Lousyville. They look as good, if not better, than last year's team.
 
Ham must have made everybody shoot extra during the covid games missed. The FG% since returning is unreal
