Four technical fouls in the first two minutes — three on Pittsburgh, one on the University of Louisville — setting the tone was what would be an otherwise unforgettable basketball game. Topped only by two more UofL technical violations in the final minute. The clock running out before any more can be called.
Louisville prevailing 75-72 in an otherwise forgettable game in front of 11,973 at the KFC Yum! Center on Wednesday. A game in which officiating dominated from beginning to end in what resembled a grudge match. Rough and tumble beneath the basket. The big guys, John Hugley of Pitt and Malik Williams, getting in foul trouble early, Hugley spending much of the first half on the bench.
