Louisville with their first made basket at the 12:27 mark of the first half. Were 0-10 from the field and 0-7 from three until that basket.

UC leads 15-6 with 11:53 left in the first half.

Louisville struggling with the length and athleticism of Cincinnati so far. Shots at the rim are hard to come by and the threes haven't fallen yet.

UC pounding the ball on the inside early, with 10 of their 15 pts being in the paint.

Crowd getting into it, with the Cards tying the game at 17. 7:50 left in the half.

Strong take through traffic for Wooley, using his frame to finish through Thiam.

Louisville taking advantage of misses and pushing the pace.

Cards trail 26-23 with 3:39 left in the 1H.

Louisville only shooting 27% so far. Have to be happy they are only down 3 considering their shooting woes thus far.

We've reverted back to playing like we did against Kansas.. We are playing way to fast, no passing, to much one on one

Louisville trails 32-28 at half-time.

Louisville shooting 25.9 FG% for the half and 23.5% from three.

Really struggling to finish in the paint, both off drives and dump-offs. Only 6 points in paint.

Brown leads the way with 10 pts, but hasn't been efficient. 2-7 from the field and 1-5 from three.

Cards now up 40-37 at the first media timeout of the 2H.

Conwell with a quick 7 points to start the half. Applying pressure at the rim and as a shooter from deep.

Liking the defensive activity and hustle from Pryor, as well.

Louisville really locking in defensively, speeding UC up and forcing turnovers/poor shots. UC hasn't scored in the last 2:09.

Cards now lead 52-45 with 8:50 left.

Cards lead 54-45 with 7:52 left.

UL has held UC to 23.5% from the field in the 2nd half, while also forcing 4 turnovers.

Have done a great job walling up and making every look difficult for the Bearcats this half.

4:52 left in the half, as Wes Miller challenges ruling on the floor on out-of-bounds call.

Cards lead 61-53. Conwell has really lifted up the offense in this second-half with his three-level scoring.

Nice response from Fru too, finishing as a roller/play-finisher around the rim.

I finally found the game Dow here in Pensacola and it looks like we have more fans at the game then Cincinnati has.
