Last weekend, Louisville women's basketball faced one of its most disheartening losses in recent years. The team, which had shown promise in previous games, was dealt a heavy blow as they fell to second-ranked UConn with a score of 85 - 52. This defeat not only dropped them from the AP Top 25 Poll and the USA TODAY Coaches Poll but also set the stage for a crucial ACC opener on Sunday.

The Tigers, on the other hand, have been on a seven-game losing streak and are gearing up for their first encounter with Louisville.
