It was a Russ Smith kind of day in the first half Saturday with the University of Louisville and Notre Dame basketball teams connecting on 16 of 22 three-point shots during the first 20 minutes. UofL, sizzling, putting nine of 13 three-point attempts through the net. Nothing like it this season and it probably will not be duplicated again in the near future.
Threes falling like rain from the sky in the KFC Yum! Center on a day when Russ Smith’s No. 2 would be hoisted into the rafters alongside such UofL greats as Darrell Griffith, Wes Unseld, Charlie Tyra, Pervis Ellison, Denny Crum, Peck Hickman and John Dromo.
