The Chris Mack era of Louisville basketball began in earnest Sunday afternoon with the annual Red-White Scrimmage at the KFC Yum Center.
V.J. King scored a game-high 19 points and Jordan Nwora added 18 points and 11 rebounds as the White Team defeated the Red, 55-41 in front of about 5,000 Cardinal fans. Steven Enoch chipped in 10 points and seven boards.
For the Red Team, grad transfer Christen Cunnigham showcased why he’s the most likely candidate to earn the job as Louisville’s starting point guard this season. Cunningham showed terrific command of the offense, finishing with 15 points, four assists and five rebounds.
