6. The Cards Held Georgia Tech To 1-8 From The Perimeter

This was an area where the Cardinals needed to come in and dominate, whereas the Yellow Jackets had to figure out how to change their fortunes from three. It turns out that the Cards limited them to 1-8 from the perimeter, which is a terrible 12.5 percent.

The Cardinals are currently the best team at defending the three in the entire conference and the Yellow Jackets are second to last in three point percentage.

It was extremely refreshing to see Louisville dominate at something that they should be great at. We never know what type of performance will be coming out of these guys, but at least we know they can shut anyone down from the three point line.
