By Matt Bradshaw —

Men’s basketball won its opening exhibition of the 2018-19 season against the visiting Bellarmine Knights. Following a sloppy and low-scoring first half, U of L improved offensive play and established a definitive edge for a 71-60 victory.

Bellarmine, coached by U of L graduate and former men’s basketball assistant coach Scott Davenport, are ranked as the nation’s top team in Division II men’s basketball. The Knights presented a tough first challenge for an untested Louisville team.
