Louisville, KY (SportsNetwork.com) - Terry Roziers 16 points led a balanced Louisville attack as the sixth-ranked Cardinals cruised to a 78-63 victory over Virginia Tech in an ACC clash. Rozier went 4-of-6 from 3-point range, while Wayne Blackshear hit three shots from beyond the arc in a 15-point effort in the Cardinals final tune-up before Saturdays home showdown with No. 4 Duke. Montrezl Harrell and Mangok Mathiang each finished with 11 points and eight rebounds for Louisville (15-2, 3-1 ACC). Harrell added three blocks to anchor a Cardinal defense that held the Hokies to a 34.1 shooting percentage inside the arc. Louisville also received a career-best 11 assists from point guard Chris Jones. Were getting better, and I think it all stems from Chris Jones willingness to be a leader and to be a point guard, Cardinals head coach Rick Pitino remarked. I still want to see him take open shots because we need that at times, but he was totally into getting people good shots and running the team and doing great things defensively. Adam Smith ended 5-of-7 on 3-point attempts and scored 19 points for Virginia Tech (8-8, 0-3). Justin Bibbs and Ahmed Hill had 15 and 14, respectively, in the Hokies fourth consecutive defeat. Weve got to get a lot better, a lot tougher, play a lot harder, said Hokies head coach Buzz Williams. In all the ways (Louisville is) good, those are all the ways that we need to improve. The Cardinals experienced no hangover from Saturdays tough one-point loss at North Carolina, nor were they caught looking ahead to this weekends matchup with Duke. Louisville opened up a 17-2 lead through seven minutes of play and stayed comfortably ahead the rest of the way while dominating on both ends of the floor. Rozier put up eight points during Louisvilles early tear, during which the Cardinals made six straight baskets at one stretch and held the Hokies scoreless for six minutes. Virginia Tech cut its deficit to nine points on several occasions in the first half, but Louisville ended the period on a 10-0 spurt and owned a 43-24 advantage at the break after Blackshear beat the buzzer on a 3-point try. The Cardinals pulled away further in the second half. Blackshear and Rozier started the stanza with back-to-back treys to begin an 8-0 stretch, and the lead later reached 29 points when consecutive buckets from Harrell made the score 63-34 with 12:24 to play. Virginia Tech was able to close the gap somewhat during the latter stages, pulling within 76-60 with two minutes left behind a 12-2 run against mainly Louisville reserves. Their team was totally overmatched, and I think they worked really, really hard, and I just wanted to make sure that they werent embarrassed in any way possible because they worked so hard, said Pitino of the Hokies. It was good that we gave some guys an opportunity, with a big game coming up, to play.

SANDY, Utah -- Optimism was in short supply in the Montreal locker-room after the Impact found a new way to lose on the road on Thursday night. This time, it was a second-half red card that did them in. Real Salt Lake forward Olmes Garcia scored two second-half goals -- both coming after Issey Nakajima-Farran was sent off in the 65th minute -- to lead Salt Lake to a 3-1 victory over the Impact and hand Montreal its fourth straight loss. The Impact (3-11-5) still have not won a MLS road match this season. "Im worried about the team," said Impact coach Frank Klopas. "Thats it because it just seems like whatever can go wrong has gone wrong for us. We just got to find a way to get out, keep working and try to get a result. Maybe well snap out of it." Montreal has not won a game away from home since defeating New England 4-2 on Sept. 8, 2013. Salt Lake (8-4-8) won for just the second time in its last nine MLS matches. Nakajima-Farran earned a red card for bringing his studs up on a challenge against Chris Schuler. The call left Montreal a man down after it had rallied from a 1-0 deficit late in the first half. "We had a decent hold on keeping the fort held down for a while and then the red card changed the game," Impact goalkeeper Evan Bush said. Montreal dug a hole for itself before the match was even a few minutes old when the Impact failed to clear out a deflected corner kick. Luke Mullholland made them pay for the mistake. When Schuler headed the ball upward to keep it alive, Mullholland slipped under it before it could touch the ground. From there, he blasted a shot inside the left post to give Salt Lake a 1-0 lead in the third minute. Hassoun Camara tied the game in the 31st minute.dddddddddddd Calum Mallace laid the ball off to Camara at the top of the box, and he blasted it home inside the left post. Montreal kept the game tied 1-1 after a great defensive play from Bush and Krzysztof Krol. Javier Morales attacked at the right post after receiving a cross from Chris Wingert but Bush denied him on the doorstep. Garcia, trying to collect the rebound and slip it past the line, was also stopped by Bush. Krol quickly cleared the ball out to prevent Salt Lake from getting a third shot. "We knew that Salt Lake was going to push their outside backs forward and in transition we were going to get opportunities," Bush said. "If we could just stay tight defensively, we thought we could get a couple on the break. Unfortunately, the red card killed our numbers going forward." Salt Lake wasted no time making the suddenly shorthanded Impact pay. RSL reclaimed a 2-1 lead in the 70th minute on a header from Garcia. Morales crossed the ball to Garcia at the top of the six. He out-jumped multiple Montreal players surrounding him to get his head under the ball and whip it inside the far post. Garcia picked up his second goal in the 93rd minute when Morales flicked the ball to him at the top of the box and he raced down the right side before firing it inside the far post again. Klopas says the red card altered the match just as Montreal was building momentum. "It changed everything," Klopas said. "I dont know what else could go wrong. It just seems everything goes wrong with us. We have a chance on the breakaway. Both players go down. Both players have studs up and we get the red card." The Impact host the Portland Timbers on Sunday.
