No way the University of Louisville basketball team wasn’t going to be prepared for Navy. Not after the Midshipmen had upset Virginia by eight points on Virginia’s home court on Friday. Not after UofL had suffered an embarrassing eight-point loss to Furman on Saturday.
Acting Coach Mike Pegues would have his team’s full attention going into this one. The Cardinals would respond with a more cohesive and purposeful approach to the game, both on offense and defense. Playing at faster face, looking for teammates, working for open shots on offense. Bulk, girth and speed on defense. Looking like a team with some promising potential in a 77-60 win at the KFC Yum!
