(AP) -- Taquan Dean, showing no ill effects of an injured groin, had 21 points and seven rebounds to lead Louisville (No. 6 ESPN/USA Today, No. 5 AP) to a 93-66 victory over previously unbeaten and Cincinnati (No. 5 ESPN/USA Today, No. 6 AP) on Wednesday night. Dean was in severe pain earlier in the day, and Louisville coach Rick Pitino considered sitting him out. "When I lifted my leg this morning, I couldn't even run," said Dean, who went 7-of-14 from the field, including 5-of-10 from 3-point range. "I wouldn't miss this game with one leg. I stuck it out. My leg was throbbing." Francisco Garcia added 19 points and seven assists and Luke Whitehead had 18 points and eight rebounds as the Cardinals (14-1, 5-0 Conference USA) beat the Bearcats for the fourth time in the last six meetings.</div> Link
