LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Freshman Chane Behanan had 10 points and 13 rebounds for a second straight double-double to start his college career and No. 9 Louisville overcame another injury to beat cold-shooting Lamar 68-48 at the Global Sports Invitational on Sunday.
Louisville guard Mike Marra, who had dealt with a bad back before the season, fell to the ground with 12:17 left in the second half after driving toward the lane and reached for his left knee. He was diagnosed with a left knee sprain that will need to be evaluated.
Louisville (2-0) has struggled with injuries dating to last season.
Lamar (1-1) beat Arkansas State in coach Pat Knight’s debut on Friday, but started this game missing 17 of its first 18 shots and ended up shooting 23.1 percent for the game.
