NEW YORK - Despite falling to Florida State at the beginning of last week, the Louisville men's basketball program's win against against Duke this past Saturday proved to be enough to squeak back into the Associated Press Top 25 Poll.
The Cardinals are now ranked as the No. 25 team in the country in Week 10 of the 2020-21 AP Top 25 after finding themselves in the "Receiving Votes" category last week. Louisville has had a roller coaster month in terms of the AP Poll, going from being unranked, to No. 16 and then back to unranked last week, all in a three-week span.
Louisville (10-3, 5-2 ACC) has just one game this week, as they are set to travel to Clemson on Wednesday, Jan. 27. Tipoff is scheduled for 9:00 p.m. EST on your regional sports network (Fox Sports South in Louisville)
