The Louisville men’s basketball team came to the Bahamas this week a struggling team in search of an identity. They’re returning to the Derby City with two impressive neutral court victories over two solid teams, and a championship trophy.
And now they’re getting their head coach back.
The Cardinals rode a tremendous effort both on defense and the glass to a 63-55 win over Maryland in the title game of the Baha Mar Hoops Bahamas Championship. The victory marked the 32nd regular season tournament championship in U of L basketball history.
It was game of runs for a pair of teams who both struggled on offense for lengthy stretches Saturday morning.
