Heavy is the head that wears the crown and Syracuse did their level best to knock it off but at the end of the night Louisville was still undefeated. Coach Walz said, “The first one is always the toughest. At least I say that. We’ve never been ranked #1 before so I just pulled that one out of my rear.”
Despite what the score might indicate, it was a tough win. Syracuse has great height, including 6’7” Kamilla Cordoso, and their interior scoring kept Louisville on their toes. The first half was even but the Cards seemed to wear them down in the second half.
