Leading Scorers: U of L: Kendall Dartez (29) One World All-Stars: Teddy Dupay (45)
It was just another exhibition game for the Cards, who were able to score at will in the paint and control the boards in a way they haven't -- and probably won't again -- all season. Kendall Dartez breaks out for 29 points, scoring easily and collecting rebounds like baseball cards. The lack of a frontcourt presence by the One World All-Stars allowed Dartez to have his way in the paint. In the first half, though, it was work outside the paint that was the show. One World All-Stars' Teddy Dupay hit on 9-10 from three-point range to score 33 points in the first half alone. He finished with a game-high 45 points.
Because of the shooting clinic put on by Dupay, the Cards made a concerted effort to guard the perimeter in the second half, using Reece Gaines to guard Dupay and end his shooting touch. The second half was when Dartez took over. He made all eight of his shots in the second period, and his last 12 overall, and his 16 rebounds paced the way for U of L's 56-23 rebounding advantage. U of L also got 40 points off of turnovers, and beat One World in second-chance points 36-5. Other key contributors for the Cards, and there were a lot of them, were Reece Gaines, who had 16 points; Taquan Dean, who had 17 points and four assists; Simeon Naydenov, who scored all 14 of his points in the last eight minutes; freshman Francisco Garcia, who had 13 points and eight rebounds; and Ellis Myles, who had 11 points and nine rebounds. The Cards held One World to 30.8% shooting in the second half, and dished out a total of 35 assists.
