| What a tough weekend for U of L fans, and what a burden the team carries today. The incredibly tough to swallow loss at VCU was compounded by a true heartbreaker when the football team lost on a fake punt in their C-USA title game. A rough weekend indeed for Cardinal fans, and to boot a win on Sunday vs. AIA won't even go on the record. | |
But a loss is truly unacceptable. It seems logical that the Cards will come to play, take a nice first half lead and look impressive. Trouble is, will they be able to hold it? Coming into their matchup with U of L, AIA had defeated Georgia and Georgia Tech, both of whom will be in the Great Alaska Shootout. And like the Premier All-Stars roster, AIA will also boast U of L alumi, in this case two players. Both Troy Jackson and Eric Johnson are on this year's version of AIA. At any rate, the Cards are expected to hold court on Sunday, then take off for Anchorage, Alaska for the Shootout. They will travel all that way just to meet Xavier, who usually are only about two hours away from Louisville. Oh well. Why not?  | |
| Game Summary: Athletes in Action | Score: Louisville 89, Athletes in Action 66 |
| Leading Scorers: U of L: Marques Maybin (20) AIA: Johnson (14), Hall (14) | |
| With a 22-4 run midway through the first half the Cards rolled to an easy 43-19 halftime lead. For the game, Marques Maybin pitched in 20 points, while Tony Williams hit another double-double with 13 points and 14 rebounds. | |
| An impressive stat for the Cards was their low number of eleven turnovers. Other players with fun numbers are Nate Johnson with 16 points and eight rebounds, and Reece Gaines with 12 points and five assists. Another highlight of the event, like in the Premier All-Stars game, was the presence of former U of L players. Troy Jackson played 6 minutes, and Eric Johnson co-led AIA with 14 points on 3-4 outside shooting. | |
