The streak is over. After nine futile attempts in a row, Louisville basketball has finally beaten Virginia.
The Wahoos didn’t make it easy. After a red hot start from deep for the Cardinals, they took a 14 point lead into halftime. However, Virginia used their outstanding defense and career nights from Kihei Clark and Tomas Woldetensae to inch closer in the second half.
The KFC Yum! Center knew the run was coming. Regardless of how poor Virginia has performed on offense in 2019-20, the Cavaliers had Louisville’s number. Even senior forward Dwayne Sutton admitted that the losing streak had been on the back of his mind.
