In a light week heading up to the holidays, Louisville and Kentucky were the only top 25 teams facing off this week. That is always a big game and it lived up to the hype this time around. The Cardinals snuck past Kentucky 73-70 thanks to a huge game from Quentin Snider. Louisville is off to a great start, but the Kentucky game is just the start of a tough stretch. This week the Cardinals play Virginia and Indiana and next week they take trips to Notre Dame and Georgia Tech. This will be a crucial group of games if Louisville is going to compete with the likes of Duke and North Carolina for an ACC title.
