The Louisville Cardinals (18-8, 8-5) moved closer to their goal of post season play with a win over the Pittsburgh Panthers (8-18, 0-13) on Sunday afternoon. Pitt forced an early timeout by the opposition less than five minutes into the game. Two triples by freshman guard Parker Stewart sandwiched a long distance connection by freshman point guard Marcus Carr, which helped power an early 11-7 lead. But like so many teams before them this season, Louisville weathered the early storm and quickly took control of the game.
The early three-pointers ended up being the only triples they made before halftime (3-16).
