Louisville basketball game grades: Cards dominate Central Arkansas

CC continues to be a steady floor general for the Cards. He led the team with 5 assists and hit both of his free throws. He didn’t do much on the offensive end but he played solid defense and facilitated for others.. PG. Louisville Cardinals. CHRISTEN CUNNINGHAM. A-

Perry has had a couple of game as of late where he hasn’t been as effective scoring the ball. His 2 points today both came from free throws as he was 0-3 from the field. He found other ways to try and make an impact which is evident in his 5 rebounds.. PG. Louisville Cardinals. DARIUS PERRY. C+

SF. Louisville Cardinals. V.J. KING. A+. This is the VJ King we need to make this year be a special one. He was aggressive attacking the basket and the put back late in the game is a SC Top 10 type play. He took a couple wide open threes that he didn’t make, but he wasn’t hunting for shots. He finished with 17 pts, 6 rebs, and 4 assists.

B+. Sutton didn’t have as big of a game as he could have but he still finds a way to get marks up and down the stat sheet. While his numbers today don’t blow you away he still had 7 pts, 4 rebs, 2 assts, and 1 steal.. SF. Louisville Cardinals. DWAYNE SUTTON

A+. With his best game in a Cardinal uniform, I had to give him the A+. He made every move possible in the paint and started 5 for 5 from the field. He finished with highs of 16 points and 9 rebounds and honestly could have had more if we would have continued to feed him the rock in the second half. UCA had no answer for him.. C. Louisville Cardinals. STEVEN ENOCH

A. Nwora was hot from the arc shooting 4 for 4 and ending the game with 21 points. He also had 5 rebs and 3 assts with only 1 TO. The only thing keeping him from an A+ plus was him losing his man twice on defense. It didn’t make a difference in this blow out but it only takes giving one open three to kill you in this tough schedule we have coming up.. PF. Louisville Cardinals. JORDAN NWORA

MALIK WILLIAMS. A-. Williams had another great game defensively and has probably shown the most improvement since the start of the season. He’s starting to slide out to the 3 point line more and I’m not sure if that is a good thing or not. Tonight he hit 1-3 from deep range and finished with 7 pts, 6 rebs, and 1 blk.. PF. Louisville Cardinals

PG. Louisville Cardinals. RYAN MCMAHON. C. It wasn’t Ryan’s best game. He just never got it going from deep range. He finished 1-5 and had 2 assists. Not something to worry about, just a bit of an off night.

KHWAN FORE. B-. Fore continues to play fast and be an aggressive on ball defender. He actually attempted three 3’s and made one. I’d like to see him continue to take the open shots when they are there. He finished with 5 pts, 3 rebs, and 2 stls.. SG. Louisville Cardinals

B+. Akoy has really found a role on this team and continues to give solid minutes in a back up role. He plays hard, gets rebounds, and communicates on D. He finished with 5 rebounds and 3 points.. PF. Louisville Cardinals. AKOY AGAU

WYATT BATTAILE. B. He got in there and gave it the ol college try. He put up 2 good looking three’s but alas neither went in. Mark him down for 1 rebound though.. SG. Louisville Cardinals

JACOB REDDING. A+. Does this guy miss, really? It was nice to see him get in the game and knock down a three. He went 1 for 1, that’s 100% in my book.. SG. Louisville Cardinals
