Perhaps it was the emotion that went into Tuesday night's senior day festivities, perhaps it was the drain of everything that has taken place since the beginning of October, or perhaps it was merely the fact that they ran into a very good team that has lost just one conference game in the past four years.
Whatever it was, Louisville looked like a shell of the team Cardinal fans had been treated to for the past four months, and dropped a 68-46 decision at Virginia in its final game of the 2015-16 season. The loss was U of L's largest since a 90-59 loss at Providence on Jan.
