Louisville coach Rick Pitino rattled off Russ Smith's stats, one more impressive than the next. Then he paused and peered over his glasses. "But he came up lame without a rebound. So we're very disappointed with that. We're going to do drills in the ballroom with Russ rebounding tonight," Pitino said before he gave up, letting a smile cross his face. "Russ is a really special player," the coach continued. "He said he was like a blender tonight, just moved around and moved around." Pay attention, No. 1s. This is how it's done. Smith scored 23 points and had eight of Louisville's NCAA tournament-record 20 steals, and the Cardinals had 67 deflections as they demolished North Carolina A&T 79-48 on Thursday night. Peyton Siva added eight assists, four steals and six points for top-seeded Louisville, which limited the Aggies to 42 percent shooting and harassed them into 27 turnovers.
