No. 11 Louisville opened its season with an 84-70 win over Chattanooga, building a 25-point first-half lead before a cold-shooting second half narrowed the margin. Flory Bidunga led the Cardinals with 16 points, nine rebounds and three steals in his debut, while Adrian Wooley scored 15; Jackson Shelstad and Seth Trimble added 13 apiece. Chattanooga’s Zach Bleshoy and Yonatan Levy each scored 14. Louisville forced 18 turnovers and controlled the early boards, but made only 9 of 31 shots after halftime and missed its first 12 second-half 3-point attempts.
