Despite a 10-point halftime lead over visiting Virginia (24-2, 12-2), Louisville men’s basketball (18-10, 9-6) failed to hold its edge and lost to the Cavaliers for the eighth consecutive time. The final score read 65-52 as the Cardinals picked up their fourth loss in five games.
The Cards came out swinging, accumulating as large as a 12-point lead in the first half. Success behind the arc was the name of the game, as the team converted on 10 three-point attempts across the 20 minutes. Virginia on the other hand, the ACC’s leader in three-point shooting, converted zero three-pointers and trailed 37-27 at the break.
