LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- Crisp passing helped lead to easy baskets for No. 5 Louisville in a rout of Belmont.Asia Durr and Ciera Johnson scored 18 points apiece as the Cardinals beat Belmont 73-50 in the home opener on Sunday.Mariya Moore added 13 points and six assists for Louisville (2-0), which shot 47.7 percent from the field, compared with 32 percent for Belmont (1-1). The Cardinals had 21 assists, surpassing 20 for the second consecutive game.I was pleased with how we passed the basketball, I thought we took care of it well, Louisville coach Jeff Walz said. Everybody is a threat to score on the team and that is what helps us.After scoring a career-high of 24 points on Friday, Durr continued her hot start to her sophomore year with 7 of 12 shooting, including 4 of 8 from 3-point range.Louisville opened the game 7 of 10 from the field and took a 10-point first quarter lead.In the second quarter, Belmont cut Louisvilles lead to nine after a 7-0 run capped by a 3-pointer by Kylee Smith. Walz called a timeout and the Cardinals ended the final 4:16 of the first half on a 15-2 run.When you have players like Asia, Mariya and BJ (Briahanna Jackson) it makes it a lot easier (to score) because it was one-on-one in the post, Johnson said.Despite the 23-point win, Walz was not satisfied with his teams performance on the glass, in particular Louisvilles offense rebounding, or lack thereof.We have to get better at it, Walz said. Getting out-rebounded by 20 isnt too impressive.Smith scored a team-high 13 points for Belmont.BIG PICTUREBelmont: The Bruins return five starters and their top nine scorers from their NCAA Tournament team last year, but they had trouble scoring against the Cardinals length and pressure defense. Belmont wont face many teams with Louisvilles length and size in the Ohio Valley Conference. The Bruins were selected as the OVCs preseason No. 1 team.Louisville: After making seven 3-pointers on Friday, Durr made four on Sunday, scoring 11 points in the first period. Possibly overshadowed by Durrs performance, Johnson was a force in the low post, going 6 of 7 from the field and 6 of 9 from the free-throw line.POLL IMPLICATIONSBelmont: The Bruins received four votes in The Associated Press preseason Top 25, but their four votes werent enough to earn them a ranking. They are unlikely to be ranked after losing to Louisville.Louisville: Ranked fifth in The Associated Press preseason Top 25, Louisville is expected to stay behind Notre Dame, Baylor, UConn and South Carolina in the poll released Monday.RETURN TO LOUISVILLEBefore taking the head coach position at Belmont, Cam Newbauer served as an assistant at Louisville under Walz from 2011-13. Newbauer coached alongside Walz during Louisvilles 2013 run to the national championship.UP NEXTBelmont: Continues its four-game road trip to begin the season, playing Troy on Wednesday.Louisville: Will play its third consecutive game against a team from Tennessee, going on the road against Middle Tennessee State on Wednesday. Louisville and Middle Tennessee last met in the first round of the NCAA Tournament in 2013, where the Cardinals won 74-49. Christian McCaffrey Panthers Jersey .

Donte Jackson Panthers Jersey .Y. -- Buffalo Bills coach Doug Marrone has drawn on his Syracuse connections once again by hiring Rob Moore to take over as receivers coach. Former Socceroos captain Paul Okon will coach the Central Coast Mariners for at least the next two A-League seasons.Okon assumes the full-time role at the Mariners from Tony Walmsley, who was sacked this month after the team won just three games in the past season to finish last.It means Okon, who has previously coached the Australian under 20s, will have just five weeks to turn the team around before their opening A-League game of the season against Perth on October 8.But he wont have the services of assistant coach John Hutchison, who has parted ways with the Mariners following 12 years at the club.The announcement on Monday came only hours after Okons appointment.Hutchison made 228 A-League appearances as a player for Central Coast and captained them to their maiden championship in 2013.He then moved into a coaching role at the club where hes been since their inception.Central Coast said in a statement that Hutchison has reached a mutual agreement with the club that will see him pursue other opportunities.Okon, meantime, say he isnt concerned about the quick turnaround he has to get the Mariners ready for the new season.One thing that Ive learnt to accept and do my best with at a national team level has been preparing players with limited time so its not new to me at all, Okon said.Its a part of what Ive been doing for four and a half yearrs.ddddddddddddny coach will tell you that they dont have enough time but Im happy with five weeks and confident that the type of football I want to play, I will be able to get across before round one.Okon played 28 matches for the Socceroos, and returned to Australia to play in 2006 with the Newcastle Jets.He then held an assistant coaching role at Gold Coast United in 2008, and has since played a key role in the nations youth teams.Mariners vice chairman Peter Storrie said they had received more than 60 applicants for the role, but saw Okons knowledge of youth as key in turning the Mariners around.In Paul we have an outstanding candidate that covers all areas for us, Storrie said.His extensive knowledge of young players across the country, understanding of the Hyundai A-League and understanding of the Central Coast Mariners were crucial decision making factors.Okons appointment also comes with the endorsement of Socceroos head coach Ange Postecoglou and the clubs football advisor Harry Redknapp.(Redknapp) also played an important role in the recruitment process and agreed with our final decision to appoint an Australian coach compared to the raft of overseas candidates who applied for the position, Storrie said.
