No. 22 Louisville hit the road and left with a huge victory over the No. 12 North Carolina Tar Heels.

Pace yourselves

The old adage is defense travels, but the Cards brought their offense with them, too.

Louisville jumped out to a quick 4-0 lead, later pushing the lead to 12-5 before the midway point in the quarter.

Louisville-transfer Nyla Harris hit a three-pointer and a layup to cut the lead to two, but a 7-0 run extended the lead back up to nine points for Louisville.

Louisville stayed comfortably in front until right at the end of the first.
