There wasn’t anything easy about it, but ultimately, Louisville made sure that the Chris Mack era didn’t begin with a loss.
The Cards shot just 6-of-25 from beyond the arc, but got 17 points from V.J. King and a monster second half effort from Steven Enoch to pull out a 71-60 exhibition victory over the Bellarmine Knights Sunday afternoon at the KFC Yum Center.
Despite working hard to create a number of clean looks, Louisville struggled with its outside shot all afternoon. The Cards missed their first 11 three-point attempts before Dwayne Sutton finally knocked one down deep into the first half.
