Heading into a packed YUM! Center, the game versus Louisville could go one of two ways: The Blue Devils could blow the doors off of a disjointed team or, what we all knew was the more likely scenario, Louisville would show out for their interim Coach Mike Pegues like they did earlier in the year when he took them to a 5-1 record. Early it looked like Duke would end up putting the Cards away early, building a 16 point lead in the first half with 10:16 left in the period. Mark Williams despite a fast start of 8 points was saddled with foul trouble for 10 minutes of the first half leading Coach K to shuffle his lineup.
