Louisville basketball dodges loss to Pitt with late run

By Josie Simpson

The No. 19 Louisville Cardinals yet again escaped with a tight win against the Pitt Panthers.

Chuckling to the bank

After Louisville won the tip-off, Chucky Hepburn drew first blood with a drawn foul and two free throws.

However, the game would get and remain fairly sloppy for both sides.

The two teams would go somewhat back-and-forth with every shot seeming to come off of a busted possession or via a turnover.

Louisville held firm control of the game throughout the first half, but couldn’t create any separation.
