What channel is Louisville basketball vs Georgia Tech on today? Time, TV, radio schedule

Brooks Holton, Louisville Courier Journal

Some were disappointed; others were pissed.

That's how Louisville men's basketball associate head coach Danny Manning described the scene in the Cardinals' locker room after they lost Wednesday night at Syracuse, 94-92, on a goaltending call in the final seconds.

What's most important now is how U of L (7-16, 2-10 ACC) responds tonight against Georgia Tech (10-13, 3-9) at the KFC Yum! Center.

To avoid squandering its first game against a fellow conference bottom dweller, Kenny Payne's team is going to need to step it up defensively.

That seems unlikely at this juncture of the season, with the Cards entering the weekend ranked 232nd in the country on KenPom.com in terms of points allowed per 100 possessions (108.7). But it's the only thing holding back an offense that has scored 90 or more points in back-to-back games for the first time since 2014.

The Yellow Jackets come to town on a two-game losing streak. They've lost five of their past six but have beaten some of the ACC's best this season: Duke, Clemson and North Carolina.

Most recently, first-year head coach Damon Stoudamire's team lost by 29 points to Wake Forest at home Tuesday.

"Not really concerned about Louisville," Stoudamire said Friday. "(I'm) concerning myself with my own team. We got to lose ourselves in what Georgia Tech basketball is, what I want it to be and a standard that has to be set."

Here's what you need to know to follow along from home:
