No. 12 Louisville women's basketball begins the final month of the regular season by hosting No. 23 Syracuse.

The game gives the Cardinals an opportunity to distance themselves as the No. 1 team in the ACC with the Orange currently second in the league standings. Louisville has won nine of the last 10 meetings against Syracuse, which includes seven straight games. But the Orange are a different team this season. Despite falling to No. 18 Virginia Tech, 75-62, on Sunday, the team has won six of its last seven games, led by Dyaisha Fair. The veteran guard is averaging 20.5 points, 4.4 rebounds and 3.5 assists.

"She'll get to the defensive glass, which is where I think she's so impressive," U of L coach Jeff Walz said. "She can get a defensive board that she doesn't need (to be) an outlet pass because she's got it. That's one of the things we talk to our guards about all the time."

Today's matchup is much different than last season's meeting, when Louisville used the game at Syracuse to switch its starting lineup. After that, the Cardinals won four straight before making the ACC tournament championship game.

This season, the game is all about positioning as Louisville looks to stay atop the ACC.

"We've beaten the teams that on the on the schedule, mathematically, we're supposed to beat," Walz said. "... You've got to be thrilled with any win you can get. I know and our players know (the game against Syracuse), is going to be, I hope, a great crowd in here. It should be just a very intense and physical basketball game."
