Louisville basketball opened its overseas tour with a commanding 101‑52 victory over Bahamas Raw Talent in Nassau, Bahamas, at the Baha Mar Convention, Arts and Entertainment Center.
A rally before the injury blow
The Cardinals found themselves in an early two‑point hole, but a 17‑4 run to close the first half flipped the momentum and set the tone for the rest of the game.
De'Shayne Montgomery was the offensive catalyst, finishing with 20 points on 5‑for‑8 shooting and hitting three of his four three‑point attempts.
Flory Bidunga contributed a near‑double‑double, scoring 18 points, pulling down 10 rebounds and blocking six shots while also dishing out four assists and grabbing a steal in 27 minutes of play.
The second scheduled matchup was called off after injuries to Obinna Ekezie Jr. and Karter Knox, a setback that was offset by a pre‑game rally from walk‑on Will Hanke, whose message helped keep the squad focused.
With the exhibition wrapped up, the Cardinals look ahead to the upcoming season, eager to translate the performance into regular‑season success.
