Broke losing streak to Virginia. Broke winning streak versus Syracuse. Have an 8-game losing streak to Louisville. Let’s see if things continue.

Coach Kevin Stallings is trying to downplay concerns of turnovers off the press.

In the middle of a standout senior season, Artis will be faced with one of his tallest obstacles of the season tonight against the Cardinals, one that will test many of the key skills of a position with which he’s still relatively inexperienced.
