Rick Pitino was noticeably hoarse in acknowledging his 300th victory with Louisville on Monday night, no doubt caused by all his yelling at the eighth-ranked Cardinals to carry out the cornerstone defensive strategy that has made him successful. Judging from Louisville's second-nature execution in a 67-51 defeat of Cincinnati, Pitino probably could have saved his voice. The Cardinals forced the Bearcats into a season-high 21 turnovers, several coming during a 25-7 run over a 10:03 stretch in the second half.
