8.  Louisville Cardinals

Previous Ranking: 14

Record: 18-4 (6-3 ACC)

Louisville edges out UNC as the highest-ranked ACC team on our top 25 this week. That is largely due to two straight wins over Pitt and NC State, neither of which were even close. The Cardinals only have a road contest at Boston College to worry about this week, but travel to Virginia to tip off next week’s schedule.

Donovan Mitchell dominated the Wolfpack in Louisville’s most recent win. He scored 28 points, grabbed eight rebounds and had five assists. He basically beat NC State by himself. Mangok Mathiang had 14 off the bench and Deng Adel chipped in with 10. Louisville isn’t as star-studded as it’s conference rivals, but this is still a dangerous program that is hot right now.
