Louisville basketball dominated Mississippi State from start to finish on Thanksgiving night in the Bahamas. How the Cards turned the narrative on its head.
Louisville basketball led by 16 at halftime. The Cards pushed the lead out to 28 midway through the second half, then cruised to a 14-point victory on Thanksgiving night in the Bahamas.
