LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Mike James scored 12 points, sophomore Tre White had 10 points and 12 rebounds, and Louisville beat Coppin State 61-41 on Wednesday night.

White secured his first career double-double with just under 12 minutes to play.

Louisville used a 7-0 run early in second half to go ahead by double figures for good. The Cardinals held Coppin State to just one field goal — with 35 seconds left — in the final six minutes. The Eagles were just 7 of 28 from the field (25%) in the second half with eight turnovers.

Skyy Clark also scored 10 points for Louisville (2-1).

James converted a three-point play with 3:14 left in the first half, capping a 9-0 run, to give Louisville its first double-digit lead at 30-19. He also had Louisville's only made field goal in the final three minutes to make it 32-21 at halftime.

Justin Winston led Coppin State (0-4) with 13 points and 10 rebounds. Khali Horton added nine points.

Louisville travels to New York for a Sunday matchup with No. 19 Texas in the Saatva Empire Classic. Coppin State looks for its first win of the season on Friday against Miami (Ohio).
