2. They Lead The ACC In Field Goal Percentage Defense

Every season when Louisville has to play Virginia, we all know that scoring is going to come at a minimum. The Cards already struggle to score sometimes, but a Cavaliers team might make scoring that much harder for Louisville on Wednesday night.

Here are the teams that have scored the most points against Virginia this season:

  • West Virginia: 66
  • Ohio State: 61
  • East Carolina: 53
  • Providence: 52

The good news is that Virginia has struggled the most against teams like Ohio State and West Virginia. I would put Louisville basketball up against those schools any day of the week.

Who knows, maybe Quentin Snider will come out hot against the Cavs this week.
