The No. 24 Louisville Cardinals (5-2) aim to extend their home winning streak to four games as they host the Oklahoma Sooners (6-1) on Wednesday, December 4, 2024, at the KFC Yum! Center. The game is set to tip off at 5:00 PM ET on ESPN2.
Louisville is riding high after a 79-71 victory over Colorado last Saturday. The Cardinals held a slim 56-55 lead entering the final quarter but took control with a dominant 16-0 run, capped by a fast-break layup from Jayda Curry. Colorado finally broke their scoring drought with a basket at the 2:48 mark.
Despite a late push from Colorado, cutting the lead to 72-63, Louisville regained momentum as freshman Tajianna Roberts banked in a clutch jumper in the lane. Izela Arenas iced the game with two free throws in the final 24.9 seconds, securing the nine-point win.
Meanwhile, the Oklahoma Sooners are coming off a heartbreaking overtime loss to No. 13 Duke in the championship game of the Ball Dawgs Classic in Henderson, Nevada. The Sooners mounted an impressive comeback in the fourth quarter, erasing a nine-point deficit to force the extra period. However, Duke proved too strong in overtime, handing the No. 8 Sooners their first defeat of the season, 109-99.
