A week ago, there looked to be a clear top-2 in ACC Basketball. There also was a clear bottom tier in the league as well, with the likes of Notre Dame, Georgia Tech, and even Louisville not winning games. That’s changed in the last 10 days, with programs such as Clemson, Pittsburgh, and North Carolina having breakthroughs, while the likes of Miami and Virginia are having breakdowns.
Check out where each of them is in the last power rankings for the ACC, which includes a full shakeup at the very top.
15. Louisville Cardinals – 4-25 (2-16)
After the huge win against Clemson last week, the Cardinals had to go on the road for a couple of games. The first was against Duke where they actually had a lead in the first eight minutes. That quickly went away and turned it into a blowout, with Louisville losing, 79-62. El Elis had 21 points to lead the team, while JJ Traynor had 16.
The second game was on the road at Georgia Tech, a team the Cardinals had beaten earlier in the season. It was clear though that wouldn’t happen a second time, with the Jackets up by 13 at halftime. Louisville went on to lose the game, 83-67. Ellis and Kamari Lands each led the team with 15 points, while Mike James had 14.
The Cardinals have two more games to wrap up the regular season, at home against Virginia Tech, followed by a road battle at Virginia, which could have an impact on the ACC title race.
