ACC Roundup - Virginia Pulls Off An Eye-Opening Win At Louisville
Rick Pitino couldn't believe his eyes.The best part of the Virginia win over Louisville - and we don't mean this maliciously - was Rick Pitino's faces and body language. It was like a sideline opera.
And Pitino had every reason to be distraught because Virginia stripped his team down and took away every pretense it had.
At the half, Louisville had 14 points. Fourteen! For a Pitino team, that may be a first and it was the worst loss Louisville has had in the Yum! Center.
The guy is, legitimately, a great, great coach, and his teams have always been built around pressing, running and scoring in bunches. He was one of the first coaches to realize how effective the three point shot could be.
