The 7-1 Louisville men’s basketball team is back in the rankings after winning its third straight game on Saturday. The Cards finished just outside the AP top 25, placing 27th in total votes, but they did crack the USA Today Coaches Poll, ranking 25th.
Louisville has played three times against unranked opponents since its blowout loss at Wisconsin on Dec. 19. With two wins this week over Virginia Tech and Georgia Tech, you will likely see them back in both rankings.
