First, Florida earns the first trip to the Sweet 16 while holding Pitt to 45 points (a team that averaged 72.5 points during the season and scored 77 in their opener against Colorado).
Then, watched an ugly first half as Louisville holds St. Louis to just 16 points in the first half (a team that averages 70 points during the season). Whats more amazing is that after holding the Billikens to 16, they are still only up by 9.
I love to see good defense – but it would be fantastic if people at least made some of their more open shots. For example, St. Louis and Louisville is 8-14 from the line. They might be playing some great defense, but no one is guarding you when you are shooting from the line – and they are still missing them. Maybe the basket will open up a little bit in the second half.
