A gritty, physical tone was set by both teams from the jump. Louisville struggled to get into a rhythm offensively, opening up the game shooting 4-of-11, but so did Wake Forest. They hit just four of their first 10 shots, and turned the ball over five times in the first four minutes.

The Louisville men’s basketball team capped off its first perfect January in 16 years with a 72-59 win over Wake Forest Tuesday night that wasn’t nearly as close as the final score would indicate. The Cardinals moved to 9-1 in ACC play and won their 10th-straight game overall thanks to a well-balanced offensive attack and a defensive effort that frustrated their visitors from start to finish.
