Louisville basketball escapes Pitt with huge quad-1 win

By Harry Barsan

Louisville defeated the Pitt Panthers in a thrilling game from start to finish.

With their win, Louisville snapped Pitt’s home-winning-streak at 15 games, and snapped Louisville’s overall losing-streak against Pitt at five.

A game of runs

Both teams started slow, each putting forth four scoreless possessions before buckets from James Scott and Reyne Smith gave the Cards a 5-0 lead.

The Panthers got themselves into a groove by way of a 10-0 run. Chucky Hepburn tried to force the issue and drive to the basket, but he only managed to score one bucket during a 15-2 Pitt run.
