Now it gets real.
Louisville got career highs from Ray Spalding in both points (21) and rebonds (16) as the Cards took care of business against Grand Canyon Saturday afternoon, 74-56. The game marked the final non-conference home tilt for U of L in the 2017-18 season.
The final game of a three-game series between the Cardinals and Antelopes was a back and forth affair for most of the afternoon. Louisville used a 21-3 run over an 8-minute stretch in the second half to pull away and score its 10th victory of the season.
In addition to Spalding’s big afternoon, the Cards got double-digit scoring performances from Deng Adel (14) and Quentin Snider (12).
Beat Kentucky.
