Notre Dame completes first season sweep of Louisville, 63-57

For the first time since 1990-91, the Louisville men’s basketball team has lost six consecutive games.

A furious second half rally wasn’t enough to overcome a listless opening 20 minutes, as the Cardinals fell at Notre Dame, 63-57, Wednesday night. The loss marked the first time a U of L team has ever lost multiple games to the Fighting Irish in a single season.

The loss spoiled yet another fantastic effort from the resurgent Jae’Lyn Withers, who led Louisville with a career-high 20 points. El Ellis (13) and Dre Davis (10) joined Withers as double figure scorers for U of L.
