WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. — If the Louisville men's basketball team wants to end this two-game road trip on a high note, it must avoid another "Oh snap" moment.

That's how Skyy Clark described the feeling of looking up at the scoreboard during the early stages of the Cardinals' loss Wednesday at No. 3 North Carolina, and last weekend's home loss to N.C. State, only to realize just how big of a hole they had dug themselves.

Playing with focus and energy from the opening tip should be non-negotiable for Kenny Payne's team today at Wake Forest. Whether U of L (6-11, 1-5 ACC) is able to cut back on critical errors that have allowed opponents to build healthy first-half leads, and stymied its second-half rallies, we'll soon find out.

But two things are certain.

The sledding isn't getting much easier against the Demon Deacons (12-5, 4-2), who should be out for blood after blowing an 11-point lead with 9:48 to play in the second half against the Wolfpack on Tuesday.

And before Payne delivered an "Oh snap" moment of his own during Wednesday's postgame news conference, saying the 2023-24 season is "really Year 1 for me" due to the state of the program when he "inherited" it, he noted that grasping for moral victories is below Louisville.

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