The Louisville Cardinals are relying a lot on the three ball during the first half of the Big East Tournament Championship, but it’s not exactly working too well. At the under 12 minute media timeout, the Cardinals are 1-9 from three point land, with Preston Knowles the main offender when it comes to poor shooting. He scored 20 points last night against Notre Dame, but he’s 0-4 total and 0-3 from behind the arc to start this game. Louisville only attempted 23 shots from three in an overtime game against Notre Dame, so this rate of outside shooting is probably not very much to the liking of Rick Pitino.

Meanwhile, Kemba Walker and Co. are heating up. After a slightly sluggish start, they’ve looked spectacular since the under 16 timeout. Walker has ten points, shooting 5-7. The last basket of those was an emphatic dunk on a breakaway.
After a beginning to the game where the officials were calling a tight game, they loosened up considerably. Amazingly, the under 12 timeout came at 8:02 remaining in the half, a testament to the open nature of the game. Right now, the score is 27-15 in favor of Connecticut.
