LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- Crisp passing helped lead to easy baskets for No. 5 Louisville in a rout of Belmont.Asia Durr and Ciera Johnson scored 18 points apiece as the Cardinals beat Belmont 73-50 in the home opener on Sunday.Mariya Moore added 13 points and six assists for Louisville (2-0), which shot 47.7 percent from the field, compared with 32 percent for Belmont (1-1). The Cardinals had 21 assists, surpassing 20 for the second consecutive game.I was pleased with how we passed the basketball, I thought we took care of it well, Louisville coach Jeff Walz said. Everybody is a threat to score on the team and that is what helps us.After scoring a career-high of 24 points on Friday, Durr continued her hot start to her sophomore year with 7 of 12 shooting, including 4 of 8 from 3-point range.Louisville opened the game 7 of 10 from the field and took a 10-point first quarter lead.In the second quarter, Belmont cut Louisvilles lead to nine after a 7-0 run capped by a 3-pointer by Kylee Smith. Walz called a timeout and the Cardinals ended the final 4:16 of the first half on a 15-2 run.When you have players like Asia, Mariya and BJ (Briahanna Jackson) it makes it a lot easier (to score) because it was one-on-one in the post, Johnson said.Despite the 23-point win, Walz was not satisfied with his teams performance on the glass, in particular Louisvilles offense rebounding, or lack thereof.We have to get better at it, Walz said. Getting out-rebounded by 20 isnt too impressive.Smith scored a team-high 13 points for Belmont.BIG PICTUREBelmont: The Bruins return five starters and their top nine scorers from their NCAA Tournament team last year, but they had trouble scoring against the Cardinals length and pressure defense. Belmont wont face many teams with Louisvilles length and size in the Ohio Valley Conference. The Bruins were selected as the OVCs preseason No. 1 team.Louisville: After making seven 3-pointers on Friday, Durr made four on Sunday, scoring 11 points in the first period. Possibly overshadowed by Durrs performance, Johnson was a force in the low post, going 6 of 7 from the field and 6 of 9 from the free-throw line.POLL IMPLICATIONSBelmont: The Bruins received four votes in The Associated Press preseason Top 25, but their four votes werent enough to earn them a ranking. They are unlikely to be ranked after losing to Louisville.Louisville: Ranked fifth in The Associated Press preseason Top 25, Louisville is expected to stay behind Notre Dame, Baylor, UConn and South Carolina in the poll released Monday.RETURN TO LOUISVILLEBefore taking the head coach position at Belmont, Cam Newbauer served as an assistant at Louisville under Walz from 2011-13. Newbauer coached alongside Walz during Louisvilles 2013 run to the national championship.UP NEXTBelmont: Continues its four-game road trip to begin the season, playing Troy on Wednesday.Louisville: Will play its third consecutive game against a team from Tennessee, going on the road against Middle Tennessee State on Wednesday. Louisville and Middle Tennessee last met in the first round of the NCAA Tournament in 2013, where the Cardinals won 74-49. Vans Shoes Clearance .

Gold Coast Titans have taken another step towards securing their first NRL finals berth in six years with a comfortable 26-6 victory over last-placed Newcastle at Hunter Stadium.The Titans consolidated eighth spot on the ladder with two games to play, against Penrith (home) and North Queensland (away), while extending the Knights club-record losing streak to 16. The Knights, now without a win in 133 days, remain anchored at the bottom of the ladder and are certain to finish last for the second successive season.The Knights were always at long odds to end their four-month losing streak but their chances were not enhanced by the late withdrawal of Jarrod Mullen (knee) and Saone Matautia (concussion).The only concern for the Titans came when Jarryd Hayne was helped off the pitch in the 65th minute after taking a head knock in a tackle involving fellow Fiji international Jacob Saifiti. Hayne, who took no further part in the match, had, however, played a mostly supporting role in his third game back in the NRL, taking a back seat to his forwards who scored all four tries for the Titans. Titans coach Neil Henry believes Hayne will be :OK to face the Panthers next week.Titans co-captain Ryan James, a controversial inclusion, crashed over twice in the first 20 minutes as the visitors raced to an 18-0 lead. He was considered fortunate to have been on the field, having been found guilty of a grade two careless high tackle that broke Wests Tigers ffullback James Tedescos jaw.dddddddddddd The fiery front-rower was cleared to play after the judiciary panel downgraded his charge to grade one.Former Queensland utility forward Chris McQueen then scored in the 16th minute as the Titans threatened to hand the Knights another thrashing on home turf, but home winger Nathan Ross responded with a 90-metre intercept try in the 28th minute, cutting the deficit to 18-6 at halftime.Titans prop Luke Douglas burrowed over from a quick tap to score in the 50th minute, extending the visitors lead to 24-6, then former Knights halfback Tyrone Roberts added a penalty goal five minutes from fulltime.After missing the past two games because of a knee injury, Roberts returned against his old club in place of regular playmaker Ash Taylor, who was rested to recover from several niggles.Titans coach Neil Henry said his side should have won more easily after building an early lead, but Knights coach Nathan Brown was pleased with his teams response after conceding three soft early tries.Weve struggled, as the scoreboard suggests, this year with getting 13-plus people on the bus at the same time, Brown said.But the fifth highest-paid player by the Knights today was Tyrone Roberts, so that sums up the situation were in at the minute, and thats why we are sitting where we are sitting.
