Unfortunately for Notre Dame, there’s no mercy rule in college basketball.
Sunday’s showdown between the No. 4 Louisville Cardinals and No. 14 Fighting Irish has devolved into a truly one-sided affair.

It only got worse. Following Notre Dame’s first basket, the Cardinals went on a jarring 23-0 run that extended into the second quarter. Notre Dame went eight and a half minutes without scoring before Sonia Citron finally hit a free throw to narrow the deficit to 41-4.
Notre Dame put up some points before intermission, but Louisville still holds a 54-15 edge at halftime. Sophomore guard Hailey Van Lith is single-handedly outscoring the opposition with 16 points, and Cardinals senior Kianna Smith isn’t far behind at 14.
It’s shaping up to be a long afternoon at South Bend.
