D2 Lenoir-Rhyne EMBARRASSES Louisville in college basketball exhibition game

The preseason exhibition college basketball game between Division 2 Lenoir-Rhyne and Louisville saw the Cards suffer an embarrassing defeat as they lost 57-47 on their home court. While the game does not go against their record, it certainly raises concern for how the rest of the season will go under first year coach Kenny Payne.

Don't look too far into it. Auburn lost an exhibition to a D2 squad in 2017, and proceeded to place first in the SEC that year. Then made the school's first ever Final Four the following year. You guys can still easily rebound from this. If nothing else, it's a good game to review to improve. Lots of flaws to work on before the games start actually counting.

@@drew284 spot-on. i don't think people understand that division 2 basketball is a very high level of basketball. There is a ton of division 1 talent that plays in division 2 for one reason or another.
