Louisville eliminates Sooners Associated PressEven after Pitino returned to his roots with a barrage of 3s in an 18-point rout over Boise State in the first round, many fans figured this game would become a matchup of the big men — Griffin and Longar Longar against Padgett and a cluster of Cardinals.
Pitino indeed concentrated on stopping the Sooners in the low blocks. Godbold was left open and hit three early 3-pointers after wrecking Saint Joseph’s with five 3s and 25 points in the first-round win. Pretty soon he was covered, too, as Pitino improved to 34-11 in the NCAA tournament. He won again with a hallmark of his: stopping the opponent’s top threat. That, and constant pressure. “We were just rushed and hurried all night,” Capel said. “Since we found out we were playing Louisville, we talked with our guys about playing poised and being strong. We didn’t do that.”
