Louisville defeated Pitt 77-53 a few weeks ago but that performance was not to be replicated this afternoon. Pitt came out in a zone and it seemed to take the Cards awhile to adjust to it. In the second quarter Louisville was held scoreless for about 4 minutes and got down by 12 before starting to hit some shots. They went into halftime down 6 and shooting 25%.
However, the Cards started to get in the flow in the second half. They ended up scoring a season high 13 three pointers for the game. Still even though they got a 7 point lead early in the 4th quarter they let Pitt back in the game.
