Louisville enters a top-10 showdown with Virginia as the road underdog, which is a spot the Cardinals have continuously disappointed in. Louisville has lost its past 10 outings as road pups, which includes losses to Notre Dame and Florida State this season. To cap it all off, Louisville is 1-4 SU against Virginia since the Cardinals joined the ACC.
- Louisville is 0-3 SU and ATS in its last 3 games against Virginia.
- The UNDER is 3-0 in the past 3 games between Louisville and Virginia.
- Virginia is 6-1 SU and 5-2 ATS in its last 7 games against the ACC.
Louisville has been rolling since the loss to FSU, winning three straight while outscoring opponents by an average of 37.7 points per game. Donovan Mitchell continues to be the Cardinals’ main offensive weapon, with the sophomore averaging 25.3 points while shooting 63.6 percent from beyond the arc over that span.
Virginia has hit the skids lately with just one win in its past three. The first loss to Villanova was respectable but a second-half collapse against Syracuse is much more concerning. The issue continues to be the Cavaliers’ low-scoring offense, as Virginia has averaged just 64 ppg in its past three.
