Khalifa does not need to be shooting 3's ! We have plenty people to do that and they shoot a lot higher percentage than him.

Louisville up 21-9 with 7:18 left in the 1st half.

EMU is really struggling with Louisville's defensive pressure and physicality. 6 Turnovers, 0 assists, and shooting 4-17 from the field.

Cards take a 33-17 lead into half-time.

McKneely and Brown lead the way with 9 pts each.

Louisville ends the half with no FGs made in the last 5 min, but hold EMU to only 2 makes out of their last 14 attempts.

Cards lead 69-36 with 6:41 left in the game.

Louisville's bench has been so effective in this game on both ends of the floor. 30 points in total thus far from the bench unit and have competed defensively. Multiple contributors tonight.

Really nice bounce-back performance from Khalifa, knocking down shots from deep and serving as a hub offensively. Also has 3 blocks.

Louisville up 77-40 with 3:51 left.

Offense has looked a lot better in 2nd half. Hard to get up for these games when you've already played some big time games. Tougher schedule ahead..
