Now everyone knows why Louisville coach Rick Pitino wanted nothing to do with Manhattan. Luke Hancock hit two huge 3-pointers in the final 1:19 to help Louisville finally shake free from tenacious Manhattan, 71-64 in the NCAA tournament Thursday night. Silky smooth guard Russ Smith, who finished with 18 points, got things going with a game-tying 3 from the wing. Those shots propelled fourth-seeded Louisville (30-5) into the round of 32, where it will face fifth-seeded Saint Louis on Saturday in the Midwest Region.
