Things just didn't seem to go right for Louisville, who fell to Morehead State 62-61 on a last-second shot from the Eagles' Demonte Harper. Chris Smith scored 17 points and grabbed six rebounds to lead the Cardinals and was their only double-figure scorer. Things went downhill when Preston Knowles was lost for the game with an injury with 9:24 left in the game.
Losing Knowles was huge for the Cardinals, but the play of Smith is an encouraging sight going into next season. He and Peyton Siva will be two of the leaders as Louisville also welcomes a solid recruiting class.
