LEXINGTON, Ky. -- For a few seconds, Louisville's two best players were just two more fans in an arena already full of people wearing Cardinals colors. Asia Durr and Myisha Hines-Allen never looked more excited Sunday than when they watched Jazmine Jones jump into the few feet separating two Oregon State players attempting to complete a pass, tip the ball away, collect it in the open court and race the other way for a layup in the third quarter.
Hines-Allen jumped in the air and implored the crowd to come to its feet, which failed only because most of them were already standing.
