It was the Cardinals' first competitive setting against another opponent in the Pat Kelsey era.
NASSAU, Bahamas - Playing in their first of two exhibition games as part of the Baha Mar Hoops Summer League, the Louisville men's basketball program was dominant in their first competitive setting against another opponent, racing past Bahamas Select for a 111-59 victory Tuesday at the Baha Mar Convention, Arts & Entertainment Center.
Even with there being virtually zero returning experience from last season's team, with nearly the entire program - from players to coaches and support staff - being brand new, Louisville looked decisive and overwhelming against Bahamas Select. They had excellent ball movement on offense all evening long, and played high intensity defense up until the final horn.
Louisville was even more efficient on the defensive end. They held Bahamas Select to just 32.8 percent from the floor and just 1-of-17 on threes, forced 25 turnovers and blocked an astounding 10 shots. Louisville wasted zero time enforcing their will against Bahamas Select, firing off a 13-0 run right out of the gates. In fact, less than 12 minutes into the game, the Cardinals had their advantage up to as much as 23. The only semblance of momentum from Bahamas Select in the half was an 11-4 run in the final five minutes, but Louisville still took a nearly insurmountable 56-27 lead into halftime.
