Louisville fought hard but came up short in a 72 to 62 loss to Kentucky. Laura Ziegler led the Cardinals with 18 points and 11 rebounds, showing dominance on the boards. Tajienna Roberts scored 22 points on 10 of 18 shooting, while Elif Istanbulluoglu chipped in seven points. Despite the effort, Louisville struggled from deep, hitting just six of 16 three-pointers, and turned the ball over 13 times. Ziegler’s double-double and Roberts’ scoring highlight a gritty team effort, but it wasn’t enough to overcome their in-state rival Kentucky.
