The Cardinals were trailing at halftime but managed to take control of the game in the third quarter. With a 7-0 run, they regained the lead and never looked back. This win also ended the Rebels’ five-game winning streak.

After trailing 27-22 at halftime, Louisville came out strong in the second half, shooting an impressive 55% from the field and making 16 of 22 free throws. Junior forward Brandon Huntley-Hatfield commented on the team’s motivation, saying, “We just wanted to remember last year and how it went. Louisville vs. Bellarmine – we all knew what was at stake. They’re a very good team. A very, very disciplined team. So, we just wanted to have the right focus, one through 15. We just wanted to come out here and be different than last year, and I feel like we did that.”

Head coach Rodrigo da Silva expressed his excitement about the new signing, stating, “We are super excited to add Enrique to our team this year. He has been playing and competing at the highest level, and he will bring a lot of experience to our roster.”

Despite the loss, Louisville had a strong performance, outgaining Kentucky with 403 yards of total offense while only allowing 289 yards. The defense held Kentucky to just 83 rushing yards, marking the eighth time this season that they have kept an opponent under 100 rushing yards.

The senior quarterback’s most memorable play came in the final minutes of the game when he connected with wide receiver Kevin Coleman for a 58-yard scoring pass, ultimately securing the win for the Cardinals. This triumphant play also secured Louisville’s spot in their first-ever Atlantic Coast Conference title game against Florida State, which will take place on December 2nd at Bank of America in Charlotte, North Carolina.
