LOUISVILLE, Ky. - (AP) - Freshman Juan Palacios had 14 points, seven rebounds and four assists to lead Louisville to an 81-51 exhibition win over Division II Kentucky Wesleyan on Wednesday.
Francisco Garcia added 12 points and Larry O'Bannon had 11 points and eight rebounds for the Cardinals.
Louisville scored the first eight points and led 20-7 eight minutes into the game. The Panthers missed 19 of their first 24 shots as Louisville's lead bulged to 30-11.
Louisville opened the second half with a 9-0 run to lead 48-21 with 17:42 left. The Cardinals led 52-31 before going on another 9-0 spurt for a 61-31 lead with 11:05 remaining.
Frank Phifer led the Panthers with 17 points, five rebounds and four blocked shots.
The 6-foot-8 Palacios, whom Louisville coach Rick Pitino has compared to Jamal Mashburn, had 10 points, four rebounds and two assists in the first half. He also had a two-handed dunk that drew the loudest cheer of the first 20 minutes.
Senior forward Ellis Myles, seeing his first action since a knee injury late in the 2002 season, had five points, eight rebounds and five assists.
The Cardinals open the regular season on Nov. 20 against BYU-Hawaii. They begin play in the Maui Invitational two days later.
