But the Cards dominated the Vols on both ends of the floor and posted a 79-60 win last night at Charlotte Bobcats Arena.
The win put the Cards (27-8) one step away from the Final Four. They now face overall No. 1 seed North Carolina (35-2) on Saturday for a trip to the national semifinals next weekend in San Antonio. The Tar Heels advanced in the opener with an easy 68-47 win over Washington State.

After struggling with turnovers in the first half, Louisville settled down in the second and finished 52 percent from the field. The Cardinals also controlled the boards against the smaller Vols, winning the rebounding battle 43-28.

Louisville's stifling defense held Tennessee to 33.9 percent shooting from the field.

“The last three games our offense and defense have been all clicking,” U of L Coach Rick Pitino said. “Our defense has stayed constant most of the year. Guys prepared hard for a week, and we told our team this game was going to be won on the backboards.”]]> http://www.kentucky.com/610/story/346515.html http://www.kentucky.com/610/story/346515.html Fri, 14 Mar 2008 05:40 EDT
For the third straight year, the Panthers knocked the Cardinals out of the tournament, and this defeat was especially painful, considering that UofL (24-8) was the higher seed at No. 2 to Pitt's No. 7 and that the Cards had serious designs on their first conference championship.

UofL rallied from an eight-point deficit in the second half to force overtime in Madison Square Garden, but then Pitt (24-9) dominated the extra session to claim a 76-69 victory and advance to the semifinals for the seventh time in the last eight years.

UofL, ranked No. 13th nationally in both polls and hopeful of playing well enough to perhaps earn a No. 2 seed in next week's NCAA Tournament, got outstanding performances from its front court players but was let down by its back court for the second game in a row.

Forward Earl Clark led all scorers with 19 points and also collected nine rebounds, while Derrick Caracter, David Padgett and Juan Palacios each scored 11 points and combined for 14 boards.]]> http://www.kentucky.com/610/story/346192.html http://www.kentucky.com/610/story/346192.html Thu, 13 Mar 2008 22:44 EDT
