This win marks Louisville’s eighth consecutive victory, improving their record to 14-5 overall and 7-1 in the ACC. The Cardinals had a strong team performance, with four players scoring in double figures. They outrebounded Virginia 36-30 and totaled 38 points in the paint. Louisville’s win was also fueled by their ability to share the ball, showcasing their positive team culture and synergy.

The Cavaliers have now lost five games in a row, falling to 8-10 overall and 1-6 in the ACC.
