Louisville basketball previously met the Virginia Cavaliers just two short weeks ago on February 23. In this matchup Louisville took a 10 point lead into halftime off of a Jordan Nwora buzzer beater before ultimately and inexplicably coming out flat in the second half to score just 15 points while being outscored by 22 in the latter 20 minutes.
The Cavaliers will not be out to do the Cardinals any favors on their home court. Since Chris Mack’s Cardinals seemingly poked at a Virginia weak spot in the first half of the teams’ February matchup, the Cavaliers have gone on to win 4 games, outscoring opponents by 102 point in the last 7 halves of basketball.
