UConn 45, Louisville 40 at the half here in Gampel.
It could have been worse for the visitors. A 3-pointer at the halftime buzzer by Kyle Kuric made a five-point game.
UConn opened the game with an 11-2 run and led by as many as 13 points.
Kemba Walker has 14 points, Stanley Robinson 11, Jerome Dyson 9 and Gavin Edwards 9.
Actually, only four players had scored for the Huskies until Donnell Beverly hit a jumper with 1:58 left in the first half.
Both C Samardo Samuels and G Edgar Sosa were in early foul trouble for the Cardinals. Samuels is just 1-of-6 from the floor, too.
Charles Okwandu (yes, him) is playing his best game since Notre Dame. He had 8 rebounds.
The Huskies are dominating the boards, 28-11.
