We take a look at the three MVP’s from Louisville basketball’s win over the Long Beach State 49ers on Thursday afternoon at the Yum Center.

The Louisville basketball team was able to pull off their third win in-a-row after beating the Long Beach State 49ers. Just like the other games the 49ers have played this season, the game against Louisville was never very close. The Cards got hot early and never looked back.

It was an impressive win for Louisville, as they were able to beat LBSU by 32 points. The 49ers are the favorites to win their own conference, therefore this was a solid win for the Cards playing a lower-level opponent. Things will start heating up when Louisville gets to Atlantis next week.

Long Beach State struggled all afternoon shooting the basketball, which you have to give credit to Louisville for playing strong defense. The Cardinals were able to hold the 49ers to 18-61 from the field, while Louisville shot 34-76.

Not to mention, Louisville also out-rebounded the 49ers 51-37 and had nine blocks.

Let’s take a look at who our three MVPs were in the Cards’ win over Long Beach State.
