LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) -Edgar Sosa scored 18 points while Samardo Samuels added 17 points and seven rebounds as Louisville snapped a two-game losing streak with a 94-57 victory over Oral Roberts on Wednesday night.
Jerry Smith shook off a strained Achilles' tendon to score 14 points for Louisville (6-3), which held the Golden Eagles to 39 percent shooting and forced 21 turnovers.
Dominique Morrison led Oral Roberts (6-6) with 15 points, but the injury-depleted Golden Eagles couldn't keep up after Louisville took control with a 27-4 run midway through the first half. Eight players suited up for Oral Roberts and seven played in the game.
There was a moment of silence before the game to honor evangelist Oral Roberts, who founded the university and passed away on Tuesday at age 91.
