Louisville basketball bounced back by defeating the Notre Dame Fighting Irish after a tough eight game stretch. The Cards responded with toughness and grit after Chris Mack called out his team following the debacle against Boston College.
Team 105 played with a level of energy that hasn’t been on display in weeks; fighting for loose balls, punching Notre Dame in the mouth, attacking the basket and defending at a high level. Even when Louisville had a stretch where the Irish were hanging around and trying to make a comeback, the Cardinals did not wilt under pressure in comparisons to previous games.
