| Final - |
| The Cardinals advance to take on the Oklahoma Sooners on Sunday in the round of 32. They'll have to take better care of the basketball. They turned it over 16 times to a much weaker opponent. That is unacceptable. What they'd like to continue is the good 3-point shooting. They were 12-24 from deep and shot 55% from the field. Clark, Smith and Palacios each reached double digits in scoring. The Broncos were led by Nelson who had 17 points. Tiedeman failed to score in the second half after tallying 12 in the first. The Broncos are now 0-5 in the tournament all-time. That's all from Birmingham for now. |
| Final - |
| The Broncos put up little resistance down the stretch as the Cardinals defeat the Boise State Broncos by a final score of 79-61. The Broncos put up a valiant effort but 18 turnovers ultimately doomed them. |
| 2nd Half - 4:13 |
| Padgett just picked up foul #4 so he'll head to the bench for probably the rest of the game. He goes out with 9 points and 2 boards, all coming in the 2nd half. Louisville now has its biggest lead at 20 points. |
| 2nd Half - 5:32 |
| The Cards come out of the timeout with some renewed passion, scoring two quick buckets and taking back control of the game. Time is running out on the Broncos, but luckily for them they are in the bonus. |
| 2nd Half - 6:41 |
| Boise is making a bit of a run here and have cut the lead down to 14. Louisville looks very out of synch offensively and haven't hit a shot since the Padgett dunk I think. They could have a battle on their hands if they don't take the final 7 minutes of this one seriously. Matt Nelson for Boise State is up to 14 points and 7 boards in the game. I'm sure Pitino isn't happy with his team's performance tonight. |
