Let's see what both brings to the table.

We know what Louisville brings to the table, it's their press. How prepared will Wichita St. be for this tough defense? The Shockers have done exactly what their name states, they have shocked many in NCAA Basketball having made their way to the Final Four as the No. 9 seed out of the West Region.

This is what Wichita St.'s NCAA journey looks like: They defeated the Pittsburgh Panthers in a convincing 73-55 result. Then they upset No. 1 Gonzaga Bulldogs 76-70. The La Salle Explorers were their next victim as they were crushed 72-58 in the Sweet 16. Last week, they then came around to upset the No. 2 Ohio State 70-66.

Though considered an upset, many believe the West was a region that had its seeding all over the place and not organizaed properly. Whatever the case was, Wichita St. simply retired the competition regardless of their seeding. Unlike Louisville, these guys aren't really pressured into winning, which probably makes it easier to compete day after day.

For the Cardinals, they have breezed through the competition so far. To get here they crushed the North Caroline A&T Aggies 79-48 in the second round. Then in the third round, they blew away Colorado State 82-56. The Oregon Ducks were the next team the Cardinals put away in the Sweet 16 winning 77-69 following by an Elite Eight 85-63 win over the Duke Blue Devils.

Kevin Ware is with the team. You can check out the video of the leg incident in case you haven't seen it. Tipoff is at 6:09 p.m. ET.
