Bellarmine KnightsvsLouisville Cardinals
BELL 47/LOU 119
Things to say
Louisville blew out Bellarmine 119-47 in the season opener at the Yum! Center.
01
opener
Louisville absolutely ran Bellarmine out of the gym. 119-47, it was over by halftime. Total clinic in the opener.
02
key player
Tajianna Roberts led the way with 15, and she barely had to break a sweat with that kind of lead.
03
hot take
72-point win and no Cardinal needed 20? That's a whole roster that can get buckets, not a one-woman show.
04
deep cut
Zamareya Jones dished 9 dimes. That's the real tell here, ball was flying around the perimeter all night.
05
exit
Tune-up game, nothing more. The real test is when ACC play actually gets going.
The recap
Louisville opened the season by absolutely burying Bellarmine 119-47, and it was a wire-to-wire clinic. No one Cardinal had to carry it either, which is the scary part: Tajianna Roberts led the way with just 15 while Zamareya Jones dished nine dimes and the whole roster got buckets.
Bellarmine couldn't buy a shot all night, with Hana Abdel Aal's nine points leading a team that got ate up from the jump. This one was never a game.
