Louisville trailed from start to finish on Saturday in an 82-72 road loss to Western Kentucky where the hosts appeared clearly superior to the visitors from start to finish. The Cards have now lost three of their last five and are a very shaky 7-4 heading into Wednesday night’s rivalry game against Kentucky in Lexington.
While U of L’s issues for most of this young season have resided on the offensive end, on Saturday, it was the Cardinal defense that let it down.
Louisville allowed the Hilltoppers to knock down eight of their first nine three-point attempts and shoot 50 percent from both beyond the arc and the field overall for the game.
