Louisville Cardinals Make Washington First No. 1 To Fall Along The Road To The Final Four

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Rick Pitino pushed all the right buttons, while Francisco Garcia and Taquan Dean made all the tough shots.

The result for Louisville was a 93-79 victory over top-seeded Washington — a win that put the Cardinals in the Albuquerque Regional final and turned their insulting fourth seed into little more than an after thought.

"Um, that's not something we think about," forward Larry O'Bannon said. "Coach tells us, 'You've got to go out there and play the game,' so we just go out there and play."

Taking advantage of Pitino's instruction to penetrate, then kick the ball out, Garcia and Dean hit five 3-pointers apiece. The Cardinals (32-4) finished with 11 total, and improved to 24-1 this season when they make at least seven from long range. More>>>
