LOUISVILLE, Ky. — The No. 21/19 Louisville women's basketball team (4-2, 1-0 ACC) was done in by a poor third quarter and fell to No. 20/18 Kentucky (7-0, 0-0 SEC), 72-62, Saturday afternoon at the KFC Yum! Center. The Cards trailed by two at halftime but shot 3-for-20 (15%) in the third quarter and were unable to get back into the game.

No. 21 Louisville played four quarters against No. 20 Kentucky. Three were serviceable. The third was a disaster. And in that wreckage, a 72-62 loss took shape, not as a fluke, but as a flashing red warning light.

Louisville football failed to find a rhythm and execute on both sides of the ball. The Cards will have one final opportunity to improve against UK.

Kentucky vs. Louisville. It’s one of the best rivalries in college basketball, and that’s the case on the women’s side two. Both programs have a history of excellence, and they’re both two teams with very high expectations for this season.
