Louisville coach Rick Pitino laughed while pondering what it would take for Russ Smith to play the way the coach wants him to on offense. "I don't know if that's possible. I really mean it," Pitino said. "All I want Russ to do is play defense hard. Everything else, you've got to let him go." Smith scored 25 points, Chris Smith added 20 and Louisville (No. 15 ESPN/USA Today, No. 14 AP) got back on the right track with a 76-59 victory over DePaul on Saturday despite not having leading scorer Kyle Kuric.
