Beating Southern University took a while for the University of Louisville basketball team, and it’s obviously going to take a while for the Cardinals to reach their full potential. Maybe a lot longer. UofL opened the season with a 72-60 win before 12,643 at the KFC Yum! Center.
Coach Chris Mack was not there, of course, because of the Dino Gaudio mess. Assistant Coach Mike Pegues was in charge.
The Cardinals struggled, leading only 33-31 at halftime.
