VIDEO: Louisville's Pat Kelsey, Kasean Pryor, Ryan Conwell recap Jackson State win

by: William McDermott17 hours ago804derm

No. 11 Louisville beat Jackson State 106-70 on Thursday night for its second win of the season.

Pat Kelsey spoke on the Cardinals’ second win of the season, a spark off the bench from Kobe Rodgers, and Louisville’s performance on the glass.

Ryan Conwell finished with a team-high 19 points and got to the charity stripe for five of them. Sananda Fru finished with 12 points (6-of-8 FG) and five boards. Also joining the podium was Kasean Pryor, who totaled six points, three rebounds, and three fouls in his first appearance since suffering a torn ACL last November. You can find more about his injury and debut here.

No. 11 Louisville plays host to No. 9 Kentucky in the Battle of the Bluegrass next Tuesday night.
