Louisville had no trouble after that Schimmel outburst and took a 33-18 lead into the locker room at half-time. The Cards went on a 17-3 run to break a 9-7 contest out to a 26-10 lead over a five minute stretch. Schimmel had eight first half points and Reid seven.

The Cards started the final half with a 10-o run to go up 43-18 when Tia Gibbs nailed a three with 18:10 remaining. Louisville would lead 55-26 at the 12:45 mark. Jeff Walz substituted freely after that...all 12 Cardinals saw action tonight and 11 scored.
