LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Ryan Conwell scored 22 points and No. 12 Louisville had its best 3-point shooting game of the season to cruise to a 106-81 victory against Ohio on Saturday.
The Cardinals (4-0), who entered Saturday averaging 102 points per game, topped 100 points for the third time this season. They went 16 of 35 from beyond the arc in matching their best start to a season in five years.
Louisville shot 20 of 36 in the first half, including going 9 for 17 from 3-point range. Isaac McKneely scored 12 points in the half.
Louisville also forced Ohio (1-3), a team that averaged 10.3 turnovers in its first three games, to commit 11 of its 17 turnovers in the first 20 minutes. That helped the Cardinals grow their lead to 58-37 with less than two minutes before halftime.
Six Cardinals scored in double figures. Mikel Brown Jr. finished with 19 points and seven assists. McKneely had 15 points, and Sananda Fru scored 10 of his 14 in the second half.
Jackson Paveletzke led the Bobcats, matching his career-high of 28 points. An All-MAC first-team selection last season, Paveletzke made seven of his first eight shots and finished 8 of 14 from the field.
Aidan Hadaway finished with 12 points and eight rebounds for Ohio.
