Louisville is no stranger to severe icy wintry weather conditions. But Thursday’s conditions, combined with the uncertainly of an omicron variant, put a dent in attendance at one of women’s basketball’s most popular venues. No guessing about attendance numbers. Not fair under such conditions.
Little, if any, effect on UofL in rolling to an 81-39 rout of Pittsburgh. The visiting Panthers, wbo hadn’t played in a couple of weeks, committing a whopping 35 turnovers. They had 24 miscues in the first half, falling behind 40-13 at the intermission.
The lack of resistance a factor but not much of a boost to Louisville either.
