It has been a 48 hours to forget for the Louisville men’s basketball program.
Three days ago, the Cardinals were unbeaten in the ACC and ranked No. 16 in the current AP top 25 poll. Tonight, they’re an unranked squad licking their wounds after a 78-65 home loss to Florida State that dropped them to 4-2 in conference play.
A slow start was yet again the story for Louisville in this one. The Cards allowed Florida State to knock down four threes in the game’s opening five minutes and race out to a 14-4 lead. That lead would ultimately balloon to as many as 24 before the Cards ended the first half on a 12-2 run.
