Chris Smith scored a team-high 19 points to go along with five rebounds and four assists and Russ Smith added 12 points off the bench for the Cardinals (8-0), who shot 55.6 percent (35-of-63) from the floor.

Louisville let the Jaguars (2-8) hang around in the first half, going into the break with a 40-35 edge. But after allowing IUPUI to shoot 52.1 percent (12-for-23) in the first half, the Cardinals limited the overmatched Summit League foe to 26.3 percent (10-of-38) in the second.

Louisville used a 15-0 run midway through the period to go up 65-45 and stretched it out to a 22-2 burst before letting up.
