In a lost season, the Louisville Cardinals try for a rare victory
In their most recent contest, Louisville was blown out at home by Pitt last Wednesday, continuing a trend of bad luck all year. With a 0-8 record, the Cardinals stand in the basement of the ACC with a 2-17 record. At 6:31 in the first half, Louisville was ahead of Pitt by four before giving up a 19-2 run that left them down 29-16. The Cardinals led by nine at halftime and never narrowed the margin below six after that. In the loss, Louisville shot 33.9% from the floor and turned the ball over 17 times. El Ellis led the way with 19 points and five assists.
Back-to-back wins for the Boston College Eagles
As a result of Saturday's victory over Notre Dame, Boston College snapped a four-game losing streak. Despite a 3-6 record in the ACC this season, the Eagles entered this game 9-11 overall. At halftime, Boston College led by one point after leading 6-0 early en route to a 6-0 lead. Despite a nine-point deficit in the first half, Boston College regrouped to lead by one point at the break. With 8:21 to play, after a 24-9 burst to trail 59-58, the Eagles took the lead with an 8-3 run that gave them a 66-62 lead to begin the second half. A two-point lead was never dropped below two by Boston College from there on. In the game, the Eagles shot 56.9% from the field, including 11 of 19 from beyond the arc. Quinten Post led the Eagles with 29 points and 14 rebounds.
We are looking at two teams that have struggled offensively, which contributes to their under-.500 records. It started the season with three straight one-point losses to mid-major programs and has never recovered. Entering this game, they have lost eight straight games and have yet to defeat a power conference opponent. As a team, the Cardinals have posted a 0-4 record on the road and a 0-3 record on neutral floors this season. The Eagles have struggled, but they just won on the road against Notre Dame. Taking advantage of a miserable Louisville team, the Eagles make it two straight wins at home.
