However, North Carolina responded with a 13-5 burst, preventing Louisville from getting any closer than eight points for the rest of the game. “They are a team that could easily win a championship this year,” said Louisville head coach Kenny Payne. “We knew that coming in. I thought we played hard, I thought we fought, but there are no good efforts and moral victories with this program. I want to win games.”
