Louisville decimated by North Carolina in return to action

Louisville’s second return from an extended Covid pause looked an awful lot like its first. The Cardinals were blitzed by a bigger, better and healthier North Carolina team, 99-54, Saturday night at the Dean Smith Center.

The loss wound up being even more lopsided than the 85-48 beatdown U of L received from Wisconsin when it came back from an 18-day layoff in December. It was also Louisville’s largest margin of defeat since before the start of World War II.

Louisville falls 99-54 at North Carolina for its largest margin of defeat since losing 62-17 at Cincinnati on Jan.
