Jordan Uk . -- Louisville overpowered Lafayette early, allowing the
fifth-ranked Cardinals to do some fine-tuning.Sam Fuehring scored 13 points to
help No. 5 Louisville cruise to a 92-48 victory over Lafayette on Sunday in the
second day of the Basketball Hall of Fame Challenge.The Cardinals (5-0) scored
the first 14 points and led 20 in the first quarter. The Leopards (1-4) missed
eight of their first nine shots and committed nine turnovers in the first 10
minutes.All 13 healthy Cardinals got on the court and either had a point or an
assist.It doesnt matter who we give the ball to, junior Mariya Moore said.
Anyone on our team can score.Fuehring was perfect from the floor on six shots to
finish a point off her career high of 14. She is seeing more time this season as
Cortnee Walton, a starter and the teams second-leading rebounder last season,
has been sidelined because of a right arm injury. Fuehring said coach Jeff Walz
has asked her to step into the seniors role as a rebounder and defender for the
time being.Of course getting minutes is what I want, but Im trying to really
work on my defense and just know its not all about scoring, the 6-foot-3 forward
said.Its part of Walz effort to make his players more coachable and not just
seek out scoring opportunities. The ones who do what he asks them to do, he
said, will be in line for more playing time.Then, if youre in the game, you got
a chance to score, Walz said. Thats something new that a few of them dont
understand. On the bench, its hard to score.Asia Durr added 13 for Louisville,
which also got 12 from Moore and 11 from Briahanna Jackson. Forward Myisha
Hines-Allen added 14 rebounds and a team-high five assists.Lafayette shot just
21.2 percent in the first half, and the Leopards were outrebounded by Louisville
62-28.Olivia Gumbs and Ashley Lutz both led Lafayette with nine points. The
Leopards starters combined to score just 11 points total.BIG PICTURELouisville:
This was the kind of game where Louisville coach Jeff Walz envisioned getting
significant playing time for his freshmen and reserves, and as the Cardinals
extended the lead to 46 by the third period, he could do just that. Only one
starter, Durr, played more than 20 minutesLafayette: Sunday marked the fourth
straight double-digit loss for the Leopards. In each of those games they trailed
by at least 20 points at some point in the contest.STAT OF THE NIGHTWhen
Louisville held Lafayette to just seven points in the first quarter, it marked
the fourth time already this season that the Cardinals have held an opponent to
less than 10 points in a quarter. For the third time, it took place in the
opening period.LETDOWNWhile Louisville dominated, Walz still saw room for
improvement. For example, while the Cardinals grabbed 28 offensive rebounds,
they only turned those into 26 points. He said he wants his team to average
about 1.5 points per offensive board.POLL IMPLICATIONSLouisville did exactly
what it was supposed to do against an overmatched opponent and did nothing that
would shake voters confidence in the teams current ranking.UP NEXTLouisville
