Louisville defeats Nebraska 10th-seeded Huskers in NCAA Tournament

The Louisville Cardinals women's basketball team continued its success by defeating the Nebraska Cornhuskers 63-58 in the first round of the NCAA Tournament, marking their 15th consecutive season with 20 or more wins. The victory was highlighted by Louisville's ability to capitalize on turnovers, scoring 27 points off 24 Nebraska turnovers. Louisville's Tajianna Roberts led the team with 16 points, while Nebraska's Alexis Markowski and Britt Prince contributed 12 and 14 points, respectively. Despite leading at times, Nebraska's inability to control turnovers ultimately led to their exit from the tournament. Looking ahead, Louisville is expected to retain most of its young roster, which includes several freshmen who gained valuable experience this season. Coach Jeff Walz emphasized the importance of creating a supportive environment to retain talent as they build for the future.
