While the Cavaliers had a talented locker room, something just did not click this season.
Next up, Virginia will continue its time on the road Friday to face No. 15 North Carolina.
Whether it was the long travel day or the change in time zones, it was a rough one for Virginia from the start.
Virginia's losing streak reached four matches.
While Virginia is showing promise in individual sets, it is still struggling to string together multiple sets.
“I would say that’s probably the best we’ve played all year,” Coach Shannon Wells said.
Down two sets to none, Virginia came all the way back.
Louisville has only dropped 12 sets in 26 matches this season.
“What you see [now] is just a different person," Coach Shannon Wells said.
"We're a better serving team than that," Coach Shannon Wells said.
“Right now with where we're at, it doesn’t matter who we play,” Wells said. “We just have to play better.”
Despite the loss, the Cavaliers showed might against one of the best teams in the nation.
Virginia defeated the Buckeyes for the first time.
Friday's five-set barnburner and Saturday's sweept had very little in common.
"It's made a big difference."
