After a sizzling performance against Michigan a few nights ago, Louisville came out this afternoon with a lot less heat. The game was back and forth in the first quarter but then the Cards went on a 17-4 run to end the half. They extended the lead in the third but then in 4th quarter Belmont used their hot 3 shooting to swing momentum their way and cut the lead to 11 with about 5 minutes to go. Coach Walz had to reinsert the starters to secure the win.
After the game Coach Walz said that the team seemed tired in practice after the Michigan game and in the midst of finals.
