At 16-0, the Cardinals set a program record for consecutive wins to start a season.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. - Currently enjoying the longest winning streak in program history, the Louisville Cardinals are the NCAA.com Team of the Week.
Â
Picked during the preseason to finish second in the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC), the Cardinals set a program record for consecutive wins to start a season, improving to 16-0 with ACC opening wins last week at Georgia Tech (74-71) and North Carolina State (55-47). The road wins against two solid teams, placed Louisville in prime position for an upcoming homestand that includes Duke (Jan. 4), Virginia Tech (Jan. 7) and Notre Dame (Jan. 11). Florida State will come to Louisville on Jan. 21. The Cardinals are ranked third in the latest Associated Press women's college basketball poll
Â
Louisville's latest triumph over North Carolina State was fueled by Myisha Hines-Allen, who had 17 points and 12 rebounds, while Asia Durr also scored 17 points for the Cardinals, who tied the 2013-14 team for the longest winning streak in program history. Louisville began the game on a 26-1 run as North Carolina State missed its first 24 shots from the field. The Cardinals led 41-18 midway through the third quarter and held on after their lead was trimmed to 47-43 late in the fourth.
