Result:
LOSS

Louisville is in a four-game stretch that is going to truly define their season. They have started out with a brilliant effort vs. Kentucky, knocking off the Wildcats 73-70 at home. Next up is Virginia, then Indiana, and Notre Dame. The signature of this Louisville team remains the same under Coach Rick Petino - defense. Louisville has held 10-of-12 teams to under 40% from the field. Virginia is in that same league, holding 9-of-11 opponents to less than 40%, but the difference here is Louisville has more options on offense. Louisville has a huge home court advantage as well, as they are 27-1 straight-up in their last 28 games, winning by over 23 points per game. What's bigger than that is the only loss was a woeful 63-47 setback against Virginia. This one has been circled, so make the play on Louisville.
