LOUISVILLE – North Carolina Central University continued its three-game road swing at top-five ranked Louisville, and the Cardinals picked up an 87-58 victory inside the KFC YUM! Center on Sunday, Nov. 17.
 
NCCU (1-3) stayed close with Louisville (3-0) at the start of the contest but the Eagles found the goals unkind with just a pair of made threes.  While the Eagles were cold from the floor, the Cardinals knocked down over 65 percent of their shots in the first half on the way to a 43-19 lead at the half.
 
NCCU had better success from the field in the second half with four three-pointers and 13 made free throws, but the hosts stayed hot from the floor as Louisville shot 66.7 percent from the field as a team during the contest on the way to an 87-58 final tally.
 
Randy Miller Jr. (Odenton, Md.) posted a team-high 15 points for the maroon and gray, and Jibri Blount (Pittsburgh, Pa.) had an even game with eight points and eight rebounds.  Jordan Perkins (Greensboro, N.C.) dished out a team-best four assists with nine points, and Justin Whatley (Chesapeake, Va.) knocked down a season-best three triples for nine points as well.
 
Jordan Nwora (Buffalo, N.Y.) was one of four Cardinals in double-digits as he recorded a game-high 17 points, and Steven Enoch (Norwalk, Conn.) was strong inside with 15 points and five rebounds.
 
The Eagles will finish their road trip on Tuesday, Nov. 19 at Youngstown State.
