This game was not pretty. Virginia Tech didn’t play horrible, but they didn’t play well either. Louisville built a double digit lead early on and Tech made a couple runs to get it close, but then the cycle would repeat. Nobody could grasp momentum and run away with this one. but the Cardinals made the plays at the end to win the game.
Louisville’s biggest game changer Monday night was their shooting. This Cardinals team is not good at shooting, but they were lights out against us. All season they’ve struggled to knock down threes, but Sutton and Nwora hit three and McMahon hit 4 for Louisville.
