We take a look at five different reasons why the Louisville basketball team can still win the ACC after a 1-2 start to conference play.
The Louisville basketball team is still searching for their first ACC championship after starting 1-2 in conference play this season. However, just because they have lost two out of three, it doesn’t mean that they don’t still have an opportunity to bring home the hardware.
This is a team that is getting better every week and will give every team in this conference a run for their money. Okay, well probably other than Virginia, but those guys are from another planet or something.
With that being said, let’s take a look at the five reasons why the Cards can still win the ACC this season:
5. It’s Still Too Early To Call
If there’s anyone out there that is declaring their school has locked up the conference already, then they are flat-out kidding themselves. This basketball conference is the gold standard by which every other conference has to live up to.
When you have basketball teams like Louisville, Duke, North Carolina, Syracuse, Florida State, and Notre Dame, the conference is never fully locked up.
The good news for Louisville, is that they have already played two of the toughest teams in the ACC in their first two conference games. Not to mention, it’s going to be tough to take down these improving Cards twice in one season.
Therefore, it doesn’t really matter right now that Louisville is 1-2 in conference play. There is still more than enough time left on the schedule for the Cardinals to make their move and rise to the top of the ACC standings.
