Gay Marriage Vote Puts Heat On Christie
The most beautiful thing about college basketball, the "madness" aside, is the collection of mini-runs that occur in a game as momentum shifts throughout. And the Pittsburgh-Louisville game had plenty of them, including a crucial late second-half 10-point stretch from the Cardinals that saw them pull ahead for the final time en route to beating the Panthers, 69-63.It was a statement game for everyone involved from the Cardinal side, too: Earl Clark came out swinging in the second half, scoring 16 points and grabbing 11 boards on an evening that happened to be his 21st birthday; Terrence Williams solidified his status as team leader with a 20/7/4 line; Rick Pitino's press is suddenly very, very relevant again (at least until I bracket them into the Final Four in a few months).
And especially for Louisville as a whole, because they're suddenly undefeated in Big East play and looking like an extremely dangerous team capable of going deep in the tourney. And I'm not just saying that because Clark is capable of embarrassing Luke Harangody on a personal, things-on-your-chin type of way.
Pittsburgh looked, early on, like it was going to roll with this one, jumping all over the Cardinals as the Panthers opened up a 17-7 lead early in the game, although they weren't exactly aided by the fact that several of their players missed serious time in the first half. But thanks to a Levance Fields three-pointer, they still led going into the break.
And as late as that 10-point run, it looked like Pitt was fully vested in sealing its status as the top team in the Big East and the nation (Wake Forest is now, obviously, the consensus No. 1 in the country and the only undefeated team remaining) but, again, Williams and Clark were just too much.
