The 13th ranked Louisville basketball team cruised to their first win of the 2016-2017 season against the Evansville Purple Aces on Friday night. It was an impressive way to start the season against a solid team from the Missouri Valley conference, but the Cards will need to continue to get better if they want to climb in the polls going forward.
The Purple Aces made it a close game in the first half, but the Cardinals were able to recover and go on a phenomenal run to end the half. After being down by six, Louisville was able to grab the lead and extend it to 16 by halftime.
