Louisville latest No. 1 team to fall, this time to Texas Tech

NEW YORK -- The college basketball season is only six weeks old, but is already headed for the fifth No. 1 team of the season.

The top-ranked Louisville Cardinals lost their first game of the season Tuesday, falling 70-57 to the Texas Tech Red Raiders in the Jimmy V Classic at Madison Square Garden.

Louisville struggled at both ends of the floor, going nearly 10 minutes in the first half without a field goal and shooting just 3-for-17 from 3-point range for the game. Jordan Nwora led the way with 14 points, but the Cardinals' guards couldn't get going against Texas Tech's defense.
