The worst start in the history of the Louisville men’s basketball program hit another new low on Tuesday.
The Cardinals were held to their lowest point total since 1948 in a 70-38 blowout loss to No. 21 Texas Tech in a Maui Invitational consolation bracket game.
U of L will face the loser of Ohio State vs. Cincinnati Wednesday night at 7:30 p.m. in the seventh place game.
Louisville was frustrated early and often by Texas Tech’s “no middle” defense, which forced the Cardinals into a 4-for-23 shooting performance in the first half. U of L carried a 32-13 deficit into halftime, the largest for the program after a first half since 1938.
