Louisville women’s basketball has a chance at a resume-boosting win today when it hosts No. 13 Georgia Tech.

The squad is currently projected to be a 10 seed in the NCAA Tournament thanks, in part, to an 0-5 record against top-25 teams. But Louisville has been on a hot streak having won five straight games and will look to use the momentum to get its first ranked win of the season.

Georgia Tech had previously been unbeaten but fell to Virginia Tech, 105-94, in double overtime on Thursday. Louisville has the overall advantage against the Yellow Jackets with an 11-0 all-time series advantage.

“It’s going to be a great game,” Louisville coach Jeff Walz said. “It’s one I hope we can get a huge crowd for. I think it should be a lot of excitement. Tech’s been playing some really good basketball. They shoot the 3 extremely well, and they shoot a lot of them, and they’re rebounding. We’re going to have our hands full but it’s going to be a great game.”

It only gets more difficult from there. Ranking 16th nationally in strength of schedule, the Cardinals have five more ranked teams on their slate: a home-and-home series against third-ranked Notre Dame, home games against No. 25 California and No. 18 North Carolina, and road games at No. 24 Florida State and No. 14 Duke.

With a daunting backloaded schedule, Walz has been encouraged by how much growth his freshman-heavy squad has shown over the past month.

“We have a lot of youth that’s playing a lot of minutes,” he said. “That’s something where, with time and continuing to get experience, they’re getting better and better, and that’s what we have to have. We’ve got to continue to put building blocks, one on top of another, and keep this thing going.”

Stay tuned for updates throughout the ACC clash.

The game will be broadcast on ACC Network with Angel Gray and Helen Williams on the call. Qualified subscribers can stream the game on ESPN+.

Nick Curran (play-by-play) and Cortnee Walton (analyst) will have the call on the Cardinal Sports Network (WLCL 93.9-FM and WGTK 970-AM in Louisville).
