The No. 3 Louisville women’s basketball team has a tough challenge on Thursday night.

The Cards (16-0, 2-0) host the No. 17 Duke Blue Devils (11-3, 0-1) at 7 p.m. ET inside the KFC Yum! Center.

It will be UofL’s first ACC home game of the season.

UofL’s 16-0 record is the best start in program history. Head coach Jeff Walz is apparently doing a good job of keeping his team grounded in response to its 16-0 start:
