Louisville Basketball: 3 MVP’s from the Cards’ win over Evansville
By Derek Snyder
We take a look at who our three MVP’s were in Louisville Basketball’s season-opening win over Evansville on Friday.
The 13th ranked Louisville basketball team cruised to their first win of the 2016-2017 season against the Evansville Purple Aces on Friday night. It was an impressive way to start the season against a solid team from the Missouri Valley conference, but the Cards will need to continue to get better if they want to climb in the polls going forward.
The Purple Aces made it a close game in the first half, but the Cardinals were able to recover and go on a phenomenal run to end the half. After being down by six, Louisville was able to grab the lead and extend it to 16 by halftime.
Rick Pitino should be pleased with how his team played across the board. Deng Adel was one guy that couldn’t find his shot tonight, but he will get into a groove the more the season moves along.
Louisville will now being to prepare for William & Mary on Monday night at 7:00pm. They are another opponent that the Cards should beat very easily, but each game will continue to prepare them for a tough schedule in December.
Not to mention, they will head to Atlantis in a little over a week from now.
With that being said, here are our three MVP’s from the win over Evansville:
