One more night.

Any hope that a two-week break and assurances that the team's head coach would remain the head coach would light a fire on the 2023-24 Louisville men's basketball team were quickly dashed Wednesday night.

The Cardinals lost their 22nd straight road game – a streak that now spans two full calendar years – with a lifeless 77-53 loss to Virginia in Charlottesville.

Louisville's only bright spot on Wednesday was freshman reserve Curtis Williams, who came off the bench and scored a team-high 14 points. Mike James was the only other Cardinal to score in double figures, finishing with 11 points. No U of L player shot better than 50.0 percent from the field.

Virginia remained largely untroubled when it had the ball in its hands throughout the night. As a result, the Cavaliers practiced 10 three-pointers as a team and shot 51.7 percent from the floor.

Under the leadership of head coach Kenny Payne, Louisville is now 2-21 in ACC games and 0-20 in games away from the KFC Yum Center.

There are still two and a half months left.
