7. Louisville Got Their 1st ACC Win Of The Season On The Road

After playing a brutal stretch of four games, the Cardinals were finally able to get their first conference win of the season and improve to 1-2. Just like they talked about on the broadcast, this is a 1-2 conference team that can very well end up winning the ACC this year.

However, that means that Cardinals need to reel off a few winning streaks throughout January and February.

I don’t really care what sport it is or whoever the Cards are playing, getting a road win in the ACC is tough. Think about it, even North Carolina couldn’t beat the Yellow Jackets in Atlanta.

This season is moving fast, but the good news is that Louisville is getting much better each and every week.

These guys deserve to enjoy every bit of this win over Georgia Tech before they start preparing for Pittsburgh.
