Jefferson made a layup and followed with a 3-pointer 19 seconds later to give the Cardinals a 7-4 lead with 6:24 left in the first quarter and they led the rest of the way.

Louisville shot 53% (31 of 59) and finished with 20 assists.
Whitehorn and Amari Robinson each scored 10 points for the Tigers.
