Louisville 72, Syracuse 58: Three Takeaways from Orange Loss to Cardinals

Louisville snapped Syracuse's five-game winning streak on Wednesday night, topping the Orange, 72-58, inside the KFC Yum! Center.

1. SU's frontcourt is vulnerable

It had been a while since the Orange were manhandled down low, but that's what happened on Wednesday. They were outrebounded 41-30, with the Cardinals grabbing 14 offensive rebounds -- which they turned into 17 second chance points.

Most telling, however, was that Louisville scored 50 points -- 50!
