March Madness 2013: Game time, TV schedule for Louisville vs. Duke

The top two teams in the Midwest region meet for the right to play in the Final Four.

The 2013 NCAA Tournament has been full of upsets, but chalk has reigned in the Midwest region, where the No. 1 Louisville Cardinals will face the No. 2 Duke Blue Devils in the Elite Eight.

The Cardinals have played dominant basketball in their first three games, stifling opponents and forcing turnovers with their defense while creating quality looks with their offense. Russ Smith has been unstoppable the past two games, scoring 31 points against the No. 12 Oregon Ducks and 27 against the No. 9 Colorado St. Rams.

The Blue Devils have not dominated their opponents the way Louisville has, but had little issues against their first three opponents. Duke has played tough defense the last two rounds, holding the No. 7 Creighton Bluejays to 30 percent shooting and the No. 3 Michigan St. Spartans to 40 percent. Seth Curry will look to continue his hot shooting, as he has averaged 24 points-per-game so far in the tournament.

The winner of this game will face the No. 9 Wichita St. Shockers in the Final Four.

Game Time: 5:05 p.m. ET

TV: CBS

Location: Lucas Oil Stadium; Indianapolis, IN
