Cleveland State trailed by four at the half and drew within 28-26 on Andre Yates’ layup with 14:26 to play, but the Cardinals slogged their way to a 10-3 run. Jones’ two free throws capped the run and gave Louisville a 38-29 lead with just under seven minutes left, and after Aaron Scales and Lewis scored to cut the advantage to five, Jones nailed a 3-pointer, Wayne Blackshear hit a free throw and Harrell scored on a layup to push the lead to 44-33.

Kaza Keane’s layup a little more than three minutes in tied the game at 5, but the Cardinals used an 11-1 run to go ahead 16-6 on Onuaku’s tip-in with 9:20 left in the opening half. Lewis scored 16 consecutive points for Cleveland State and his free throw brought the Vikings within 24-22 with 1:02 to go before Harrell’s layup sent Louisville into halftime ahead 26-22.
