The last time these two teams met in the Yum the Cards were just coming off a Covid situation and played a little sloppy. Even though Syracuse played valiantly for only having six players in their rotation, today the Louisville bench proved too much for them. The game was still in reach for the Orange through the third quarter but eventually they just ran out of gas whereas the Cards put their foot on the accelerator.
A big catalyst for Louisville in the 3rd quarter was Liz Dixon. She finished the game with 18 points on 8 of 8 shooting to which she added 7 rebounds.
