NEW YORK - After going 1-1 for the week with a win at Wake Forest and a loss at Miami, the Louisville men's basketball program's entrance back into Associated Press Top 25 Poll has disappeared as quickly as it arrived
The Cardinals are now unranked in Week 9 of the 2020-21 AP Top 25, falling from their previous ranking of No. 16. Before last week's poll, the Cards had previously found themselves in the "Receiving Votes" category for the prior three weeks. This week, they received 155 votes for an unofficial ranking of 26th.
Louisville (9-2, 4-1 ACC) has a pair of home games this week, as they are set to host Florida State on Monday, Jan. 18 at 7:00 p.m. EST, then Duke on Saturday, Jan. 23 at 4:00 p.m. EST. Both games will be on ESPN.
