Louisville has just won its third ever ACC Tournament game since joining the conference in 2014. That is no typo, the Cards had only won two games in their previous five appearances heading into the 2022 edition. The last thing anyone should do right now is get their hopes up, but Louisville looked as good on Tuesday night as they have in months. The Cards lost 11 of their last 12 games heading into Brooklyn, but came out and mostly dominated a bad Georgia Tech team. They live to see another day.
Up Next:
Louisville and Virginia meet for the third time this season on Wednesday at 9:30 p.m. ET on ESPN.
