Prior to the 8 minute mark of each half.....

[UPitt '89]

Pitt outscored Louisville 39-26 (20-16 in the first 12 minutes of the first half, 19-10 in the first 12 minutes of the second half).

But in the final 8 minutes of each half... Louisville outscored Pitt 41-21 (17-9 in the first, 24-12 in the second).

Just a weird thing. Closed out both halves very poorly.

Two things.

First, it was like Louisville knew they could turn it on and take control when they needed to.

But, this is a real pattern with this team. I have NEVER seen a team that has had do many games like this, where they had about an 8 point lead on a good team and were on the verge of taking control of the game, and in a blink of an eye give up 8 points to the other team.

I have NEVER seen a team that has done that so repeatedly like this team.
