The Louisville men’s basketball team once again trailed from start to finish in a 79-54 loss to No. 22 Maryland Tuesday night in the ACC-Big 10 Challenge. The loss dropped the Cards to 0-7 in Kenny Payne’s first season as head coach.
U of L’s current eight-game losing streak, which dates back to the final game of last season, is its longest since a 12-game losing streak that ended on Feb. 12, 1941.
Cardinal fans hoping to at least see some signs of progress weren’t gifted with much Tuesday night.
From the jump, Maryland took command of the game by being the more aggressive, the more physical and the more fundamentally sound team.
