From tip-off, it was clear that the Louisville Cardinals were in fine form. They opened with a solid first quarter, outscoring their opponents by two points and continued to build on that momentum throughout the game. By halftime, they had established a commanding lead thanks to a particularly strong second quarter where they racked up 25 points.
