The Louisville men’s basketball team has struggled to find its footing after a 20-game win streak, losing to Georgia Tech in an upset. The Yellow Jackets overcame an 11-point halftime deficit to secure a 77-70 victory, handing the Cardinals their second ACC loss of the season. This defeat marks the end of U of L’s 134 consecutive games won when leading by more than 10 points at halftime.
Louisville’s defense was lacking, allowing open three-point shots and struggling with rotations. The team’s poor free-throw shooting and sloppy play also contributed to their downfall. Despite being led by Terrence Edwards’ 22 points, the Cardinals were unable to overcome their defensive lapses.
The loss marks a significant disappointment for the team, which had been on a high after its impressive win streak. However, Louisville’s recent performance has allowed it to build a safety net for its resume. With several tough games remaining, the team must regroup and refocus to avoid legitimate concerns about its postseason prospects.
