After rallying from an 18 point deficit on Sunday to defeat IUPUI 70-61, Louisville faces Dartmouth (2-8) tonight at the KFC YUM! Center.
Briahanna Jackson scored 21 of Louisville’s 48 points in the second half on Sunday to help lead the rally. The junior transfer from UCF is the leading scorer for the Cardinals with 15.0 points per game. She also leads the team in steals and minutes played.
Coach Jeff Walz has been critical of his team’s defensive play through its first nine games, so Dartmouth will provide another opportunity for his young roster to work through some of its difficulties.
No bench players scored on Sunday, but if Louisville can get a sizeable lead against Dartmouth, the roster comprised of five freshmen should see some playing time.
