Louisville built its lead to 30 points early in the second half despite Marco Porcher Jimenez scoring 13 for FIU after the break. In the first half, I thought we got comfortable doing what we were doing, said Panthers coach Anthony Evans. In the second half, I think they picked it up, the pressure, denying us the ball, and we never adjusted. The Cardinals were a bit careless with 20 turnovers of their own, but the Panthers were not able to turn those into points. The thing that is missing from this basketball team and why they cant go from good to very good is turnovers, said Louisville coach Rick Pitino. Over the final 10 minutes of the game, the Louisville lead fluctuated between 20-30 points. Sloppy play and poor shooting marred the early portion of the first half. At the 16:09 mark, Louisville finally got on the board with a Blackshear dunk. Prior to that, the Cardinals turned the ball over four times. The Cardinals were eventually able to get in an offensive rhythm. Down 10-6, they started an 18-0 run to take control of the game. It was capped by a Gill triple. With 1:10 remaining in the first half, Tashawn Desirs three cut FIUs deficit back to single digits, but a quick 5-0 spurt that ended with a buzzer-beating 3-pointer from Blackshear extended Louisvilles lead to 36-23 heading into the break.

Jamies number grades given are out of five, with five being the best mark. Marc-Andre Fleury, Pittsburgh Penguins (5) – He was locked in all night, made huge stops on Benoit Pouliot, Raphael Diaz, Ryan Mcdonagh, Carl Hagelin, Rick Nash (twice) but none better than the three saves on Mats Zuccarello. Battled some rebounds around the net, but made up for it with great positioning and efficiency in the net. Got a little help with three posts but like any streak, you get the bounces that go your way. He looked very calm and not overactive in his movements. Henrik Lundqvist, New York Rangers (3) - No run support or help most of the night. The Sidney Crosby goal was a great hesitation - roll of wrist move that got him to open up and he slid it through the five- hole, - not Henriks besst work.dddddddddddd Has faced five breakaways in the last two games, the Rangers are giving up too many high quality chances to the Pens. Jonathan Quick, Los Angeles Kings (5) - Unbelievable early on, big saves on the PK on Saku Koivu, Devante Smith-Pelly, Ryan Getzlaf and Patrick Maroon. Showed his agility again by his explosive movement in the second period on Perry, held it up in the 3rd, with good down low work again on Perry. Looks unbeatable some nights, and Anaheim tried to get to him with traffic, he fought through it all night. Jonas Hiller, Anaheim Ducks (3) - Beat glove side on the first two goals, one early on Marian Gaborik, and the Alec Martinez goal hits Jakob Silfverberg, but he moves out of the way of it. Good saves on Anze Kopitar, Gaborik,Mike Richards and Tanner Pearson. Not tested much in the third. Not the problem but has not been the solution for the Ducks as well. ' ' '
