It was a wire-to-wire victory for Louisville basketball on Saturday night as the Cardinals improved to 23-5 on the season with a 72-55 victory over the North Carolina Tar Heels.
Louisville used a great defensive game plan, the type of game we’ve expected to come from Jordan Nwora, and solid games from its supporting cast to soar ahead of UNC and never look back.
After UNC led 3-0, Louisville never trailed again, and the Cards cruised to one of their most consistent victories of the season.
The crowd showed up early and was loud and into it throughout, and Louisville fed off the positive energy that was good enough to make fans forget about the rough week the Cardinals were coming off of.
