Chris Smith scored 18 points and No. 6 Louisville used a tenacious defensive effort to ward off visiting Long Beach State 79-66 on Monday.

The Cardinals (6-0) scored the first eight points and never trailed, pulling out in front by as many as 16.

Larry Anderson paced Long Beach State with 17 points.
