Louisville basketball suffers first loss of season in Jimmy V Classic

By Luke Graham —

Louisville basketball put their perfect season on the line against the national championship runner up Texas Tech at the Jimmy V Classic Dec. 10 at Madison Square Garden. They lost 70-57.

This loss is an important loss to the Cardinals (9-1, 2-0) early on in their season. This allows them to humble themselves without getting overconfident. With a tough schedule ahead in December and January, the team should be able to power through with a chip on their shoulder.

The first half was pretty shaky for the Cards as Texas Tech (6-3, 0-0) was the better team in the first half and Louisville had just three field goals.
