Despite the Cardinals’ top shooters having an off night on Friday, Louisville easily defeated the UConn Huskies 71-58. This is an impressive win by the Cardinals, who had not been expected to win the game by such a lopsided margin. Add the fact that their best shooters were struggling throughout the game, and the win becomes even more impressive.

Louisville’s usual top scorer, Preston Knowles, suffered a terrible shooting night, going 2 for 13 from the field. The first half of the game was also a struggle for Kyle Kuric, who only had 6 points before halftime. In fact, the Cardinals’ three top scorers, Knowls, Kuric, and Terrence Jennings, only combined for 20 points total.
