Men’s basketball secured victory against Duke

No. 11 Louisville defeated No. 3 Duke 79-73 at the Cameron Indoor Stadium in Durham Jan. 18.

Active defense and effective transition offense helped the Cardinals create easy baskets to begin the game. Junior Jordan Nwora assisted freshman David Johnson for a voracious slam dunk, giving the Cards an early five point lead.

Duke committed 10 turnovers early in the game which allowed Louisville to secure a 25-10 lead halfway through the first half. During the Louisville run, freshman Samuell Williamson won a loose ball play and was able to finish with a dunk on the other end.
