The game started off all Louisville, rushing out to a 16-5 lead just six minutes into the game. FSU was sloppy on both ends, going up weak on offense and letting Louisville beat them down the floor on defense. But a 10-0 run by the Seminoles got them right back in it, capped off by an and-one by Alier Maluk.

The Seminoles struggled to keep up with the Cardinals. Louisville shot 53.7 percent from the field, 50.9 percent from the field, and 51.7 percent from three-point range. FSU tried to keep the game close throughout but couldn't do enough to stop the bleeding from behind the arc. It hadn't led since the beginning of the first half when it was up 3-0.

Reyne Smith scored a season-high 27 points for the Louisville Cardinals, who shot their way to their first Atlantic Coast Conference victory of the season Saturday with a 90-76 win over the host Florida State Seminoles in Tallahassee,
