Louisville moved to 7-1 in conference play for the first time since joining the ACC with a dominant 82-54 road win over an outmatched squad from Wake Forest Wednesday night. The 7-1 record marks U of L’s best eight-game start to a conference season since winning its first eight Big East games back in 2008-09.
The Cards took any drama out of the LJVM Coliseum early on, scoring the game’s first six points and eventually building a first half lead that grew as large as 23. The onslaught continued in the second half, with the Louisville lead ballooning to 35 before Chris Mack more or less called off the dogs.
