Rick Pitino told Kyle Kuric he needed to expand his game this season. Apparently, Kuric heeded the message just in time. With starting guard Peyton Siva out because of a sprained left ankle, Kuric relied on his new shooting repertoire to break down Butler's defense, scoring 12 of his 17 points in the second half to help Louisville (No. 7 ESPN/USA Today, No. 8 AP) pull away 69-53 on Saturday.
