ATLANTA (AP) It's hardly a surprise any more when Jordan Nwora heats up, like he did Saturday in scoring 25 points to lead Louisville to a 79-51 runaway win over short-handed Georgia Tech, but it was a treat for him and the Cardinals to feel so at home on the road while winning their third straight game.

The sophomore forward entered the game as the Atlantic Coast Conference's most improved scorer, bumping his average from 5.7 points per game as a freshman to 18.1 this season, and he surpassed that with 21 points in the first half Louisville raced to a 43-16 lead.

One week earlier, the Cardinals started their winning streak with a 21-point win at No. 12 North Carolina, and they were more dominant against the Yellow Jackets while building leads of 31 points in the first half and 38 in the second.
