LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Following a less than efficient week, the Louisville men's basketball program has taken a tumble out of the Associated Press Top 25 Poll.

The Cardinals (16-6, 9-2 ACC) garnered 86 points in week 14 of the AP Top 25, falling from No. 21 last week to the "others receiving votes" section" this week.

Louisville split their two games this past week. They took down Wake Forest 72-59 at home in a game where they coasted to the finish line after leading by nearly 30, then outright lost 77-70 at Georgia Tech to snap a 10-game winning streak.

Next up, Louisville stays on the road and heads to the northeast for a matchup at Boston College. Tip-off against the Eagles is scheduled for Wednesday, Feb. 5 at 7:00 p.m. EST.
