Johnson scored nine straight points — all on 3-pointers — to get Bellarmine within 61-46 with 11:46 to go. But that's as close as the Knights would get. Pryor put the Cardinals ahead 74-53 with 8:40 remaining and they led by 20-plus the rest of the way.
Chucky Hepburn added 16 points, and James Scott and J’Vonne Hadley each scored 10 for Louisville (2-1), which was coming off a 10-day hiatus after a 77-55 loss to No. 12 Tennessee.
Johnson finished with a game-high 29 points and six 3-pointers for Bellarmine (1-4). Billy Smith added 15 points.
The series between the two programs dates to 1960, with Louisville holding a 14-1 advantage over the Knights.
