LOUISVILLE, Ky -- Kylee Shook scored a season-high 17 points to help No. 5 Louisville to a 95-73 rout of Miami (Ohio) on Monday night.

The Cardinals (6-0) started strong and never looked back. They jumped out to an 8-0 lead in the first 2:30 as they forced the RedHawks (4-1) into four turnovers in that span. Three baskets came on fast break opportunities.

A balanced attack propelled the Cardinals to victory. Shook, a junior forward, made 6-of-9 shots and was one of six Louisville players to score in double figures. The Cardinals shot 51.5 percent and forced Miami into committing 21 turnovers.
