1. Louisville Must Quickly Forget About This Loss And Move On

Louisville just went from the highest of highs to the lowest of lows after beating Kentucky and then getting killed by Virginia. With that being said, it absolutely stinks that the Cards now have a losing conference record, but they can’t dwell on this bad loss too long.
