The foul trouble of Terrence Jennings is the early story from Madison Square Garden, as the Louisville Cardinals forward has been forced out of the game with two fouls in under three minutes. In just 26 minutes, Jennings put up 16 points and five rebounds against Notre Dame last night, and his absence could allow UConn to get some inside position on offense and win rebounding battles.
Big East Championship Game 2011, Louisville Vs. UConn: Terrence Jennings In Early Foul Trouble
Kemba Walker has been slightly quiet early, but he did hit one shot, shaking his defender to open himself up for an 18 foot jump shot. UConn’s most aggressive player in the opening minutes, shooting two for three and scoring four points thanks to his aggressive drives to the basket.
The officials are calling an extremely tight game at the start, and the players will have to adjust accordingly to avoid getting into the bonus early and getting into foul trouble like Terrence Jennings did.
The score is 9-8 in favor of Louisville at the under 16 minute media timeout, with 15:44 remaining in the first half.
