LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- Crisp passing helped lead to easy baskets for No. 5 Louisville in a rout of Belmont.Asia Durr and Ciera Johnson scored 18 points apiece as the Cardinals beat Belmont 73-50 in the home opener on Sunday.Mariya Moore added 13 points and six assists for Louisville (2-0), which shot 47.7 percent from the field, compared with 32 percent for Belmont (1-1). The Cardinals had 21 assists, surpassing 20 for the second consecutive game.I was pleased with how we passed the basketball, I thought we took care of it well, Louisville coach Jeff Walz said. Everybody is a threat to score on the team and that is what helps us.After scoring a career-high of 24 points on Friday, Durr continued her hot start to her sophomore year with 7 of 12 shooting, including 4 of 8 from 3-point range.Louisville opened the game 7 of 10 from the field and took a 10-point first quarter lead.In the second quarter, Belmont cut Louisvilles lead to nine after a 7-0 run capped by a 3-pointer by Kylee Smith. Walz called a timeout and the Cardinals ended the final 4:16 of the first half on a 15-2 run.When you have players like Asia, Mariya and BJ (Briahanna Jackson) it makes it a lot easier (to score) because it was one-on-one in the post, Johnson said.Despite the 23-point win, Walz was not satisfied with his teams performance on the glass, in particular Louisvilles offense rebounding, or lack thereof.We have to get better at it, Walz said. Getting out-rebounded by 20 isnt too impressive.Smith scored a team-high 13 points for Belmont.BIG PICTUREBelmont: The Bruins return five starters and their top nine scorers from their NCAA Tournament team last year, but they had trouble scoring against the Cardinals length and pressure defense. Belmont wont face many teams with Louisvilles length and size in the Ohio Valley Conference. The Bruins were selected as the OVCs preseason No. 1 team.Louisville: After making seven 3-pointers on Friday, Durr made four on Sunday, scoring 11 points in the first period. Possibly overshadowed by Durrs performance, Johnson was a force in the low post, going 6 of 7 from the field and 6 of 9 from the free-throw line.POLL IMPLICATIONSBelmont: The Bruins received four votes in The Associated Press preseason Top 25, but their four votes werent enough to earn them a ranking. They are unlikely to be ranked after losing to Louisville.Louisville: Ranked fifth in The Associated Press preseason Top 25, Louisville is expected to stay behind Notre Dame, Baylor, UConn and South Carolina in the poll released Monday.RETURN TO LOUISVILLEBefore taking the head coach position at Belmont, Cam Newbauer served as an assistant at Louisville under Walz from 2011-13. Newbauer coached alongside Walz during Louisvilles 2013 run to the national championship.UP NEXTBelmont: Continues its four-game road trip to begin the season, playing Troy on Wednesday.Louisville: Will play its third consecutive game against a team from Tennessee, going on the road against Middle Tennessee State on Wednesday. Louisville and Middle Tennessee last met in the first round of the NCAA Tournament in 2013, where the Cardinals won 74-49. Pete Rose Jersey . As the crowd erupted, Davis knocked the ball off the glass and back into his hands. With 1:14 to go in overtime, Davis sixth block also became his 17th rebound.

CHICAGO -- When Dwyane Wade was a free agent in 2010, he got a Chicago Bulls jersey when he met with his hometown team. He took it home, put it on and took a picture. Then he deleted it.He got another Bulls jersey Friday, and there were more pictures. Lots of pictures, and there was no need to erase anything this time around.The long dance between Wade and the Bulls took the next step when he was officially introduced as a member of his favorite team growing up in the Windy City. The 12-time All-Star had two workouts with the Bulls before he was drafted by Miami in 2003, and then had two more meetings with the team before deciding to stay with the Heat six years ago.My dream of becoming an NBA player started here, started here in my hometown, Wade said. I know it took a long time to get here, but I am here and Im excited to be here.Wade announced he was leaving Miami for Chicago on July 6, and the Bulls confirmed the deal two weeks ago. But his introductory press conference was delayed by a trip to China for Wade and his wife, actress Gabrielle Union.Judging by the smile on the face of general manager Gar Forman, it was worth the wait for the Bulls.Knowing him and studying him over the years, his makeup and character, his work ethic and his commitment to winning is something that I think is really going to serve our team well, Forman said. You look at our team and we basically got a young team. Weve got 10 players now with three years or less experience, and to have Dwyane come in and kind of show these guys the way, I dont think you can put a value on something like that.Wades two-year contract worth about $47 million is part of a delicate balancing act for Forman and the Bulls, trying to get younger and more athletic while staying in contention. After finishing 42-40 and missing the playoffs for the first time since 2008, Derrick Rose, another local product, was traded to the New York Knicks, and All-Star center Pau Gasol left for a free-agent deal with San Antonio.But the Bulls convinced Rajon Rondo and Wade to come to Chicago, adding two more dynamic guards to play with Jimmy Butler.dddddddddddd While Rondo and Wade are on the wrong side of 30 and have never been strong 3-point shooters in a league with increasing emphasis on the outside shot, everyone with the Bulls think they will be able to work it out.We have our own strengths, and with those strengths is what were going to bring to this game, Wade said. Were not going to come out there and try to be Stephen Curry. Thats not our game.Butler watched from the back as Wade held his press conference, and Wade playfully ribbed him about his shirt exposing his muscular arms. While Butlers reputation took a hit following Chicagos poor finish last season, Wade said Butler called him during free agency and the deal would not have happened without his recruitment.Were not going to go through this all year. Its Jimmy Butlers team, Wade said. Myself and Rondo are here to bring what we bring as athletes to this team and to this city.Scoring has never been a problem for the 34-year-old Wade, who leaves Miami as the franchises career leader with 20,221 points. The 6-foot-4 guard averaged 19 points and 4.6 assists in 74 games last season, his highest total since he appeared in 76 games in the 2010-11 campaign.After the Bulls missed out on him in the draft, Wade turned into a beloved figure in South Florida, helping the Heat win NBA titles in 2006, 2012 and 2013. He had repeatedly returned to the only NBA franchise he had ever known, but he said the direction and focus for each side was a little different this year than in the past.I had a contract offer in Miami that I could have took. I decided not to take it, Wade said. It was my decision to be selfish and to live out a dream of mine. I brought a lot of excitement to Miami and its a home to me. It will always be. I want to bring a little bit here to Chicago while I have a little bit left.---Jay Cohen can be reached at http://www.twitter.com/jcohenap China Womens NFL Jerseys Stitched NFL Jerseys Wholesale Throwback Jerseys Wholesale Authentic Jerseys China NFL Gear Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap Jerseys Wholesale Cheap NFL Black Jerseys Wholesale Stitched Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys Outlet Cheap NFL Autographed Jerseys Cheap Jerseys Free Shipping NFL Jerseys Outlet Wholesale Jerseys 2019 China NFL Jerseys ' ' '
