Louisville capped off a winless run at the Maui Invitational with an 81-62 loss to Cincinnati in the 7th-place game Wednesday night.
In a story that became all-too-familiar during the Cardinals’ time on the island, U of L got off to a decent start, fought admirably during the game’s opening half, and then let a little bit of adversity balloon into a lopsided defeat.
For a moment, it appeared as though El Ellis’ spinning layup in the final seconds of the first half was going to allow Louisville to carry a 2-point lead into the locker room.
