LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Sananda Fru scored a season-high 18 points to lead five players in double figures as No. 11 Louisville beat 94-54 Montana on Saturday.
Just like Tuesday, when they lost 83-62 at No. 20 Tennessee, the Cardinals (10-2) played without star freshman point guard Mikel Brown Jr., who sat out with a back injury. While Louisville started slowly against the Grizzlies (6-7), the Cardinals never trailed and eventually pulled away, ending the first half on a 17-0 run to lead 42-20 at halftime.
Fru, a 6-foot-11 forward from Germany, made all seven of his shots in a 14-point first half, which tied his previous season high. The junior finished 9 of 11 and tied a season high with eight rebounds.
Isaac McKneely finished with 16 points and made 4 of 6 3-pointers for Louisville, which shot 52.3%. Ryan Conwell added 14, while J’Vonne Hadley scored 13 and Khani Rooths had 10.
Montana entered Saturday as Division I’s 26th-best shooting team (50.5%). However, the Grizzlies shot just 6 for 24 in the first half, missing 10 of their last 11 shots, and they lost for the second straight game.
They shot a season-low 32.1% and were outrebounded 48-25.
Grant Kepley came off the bench to score a season-high 15 for the Grizzlies. Tyler Thompson added 12.
