CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — If Louisville basketball is to stay hot, Pat Kelsey‘s Cardinals (9-5, 2-1 ACC) must do something the program hasn’t in a long time today.
End a nine-game losing streak against Virginia (8-5, 1-1) with their first win at John Paul Jones Arena since 1990.
If there was ever a time to make it happen, it’s now. Tony Bennett, who owned a 19-2 record against U of L as the Cavaliers’ coach, is gone — opting to retire less than a month before his 16th season at the helm tipped off.
In Bennett’s place for the time being is associate head coach Ron Sanchez, who has spent more than a decade with UVA — returning in 2023 after a five-year stint leading Charlotte. He and the Cavs are coming off a 70-67 win Tuesday over N.C. State.
