The Arkansas State Red Wolves (3-7) and Louisville Cardinals (4-5) are both aiming for consistency in their college basketball matchup on Wednesday, December 13 at 8:00 PM ET at the KFC Yum! Center. The Cardinals are coming in favored with a point spread at -4.5 (-115).

The Red Wolves finally snapped their recent three-game losing streak with a recent victory. This was an 87-68 performance over the UAB Blazers and marks another home victory. Can the Red Wolves land their first win on the road?

Taryn Todd is their current scoring leader at 13.2 points per game and is shooting just 37.5 percent from the floor. They are going to need more offense from him and especially to shoot better from the free throw line too (63.0 percent).

The Red Wolves are averaging 74.6 points per game and are shooting 41.3 percent from the field. However, they are giving up 79.8 points each game, which is a negative ratio and likely why they are having issues winning games.

They are getting 14.5 assists each game, which is slightly higher than the Cardinals. They also obtain 4.4 blocks and 5.5 steals per matchup to cause some havoc for the other team.

The Cardinals have lost their last two games, which have both been on the road, but might have a chance to get back on track at home. Their recent defeat was a 75-68 showing against the DePaul Blue Demons.

Skyy Clark is getting 17.1 points per game and is connecting on 41.4 percent of his buckets. He is also a solid free throw shooter at 80.0 percent, which adds to the threat of him being the difference in this game.

The Cardinals have a tough margin of error so far in their matchups. They are averaging 74.6 points per game on 41.7 percent shooting, but are allowing 74.7 points each game. At this rate, they are finding it difficult to win any game.

However, most of their games have been close finishes. They also contribute 3.0 blocks and 5.8 steals each game.

MyBookie is showing that the Louisville Cardinals are favored to win this matchup. According to market analysis, the Cardinals have a 57.3 percent chance to succeed. 

The Red Wolves have yet to win a single road game in 10 matchups overall and half of those being on the road. The Cardinals appear to be the better team on paper and are back home against a struggling team.
