Louisville had a 10-5 lead at the first TV timeout (15:49).
Kentucky made its first shot — a three-pointer by Ramon Harris seven seconds into the game. But UK made only one more shot (a dunk by Patrick Patterson off a Mark Coury pass) at the first timeout.
By then, UK had already put Derrick Jasper (the hero of the victory over Florida International) into the game.
After that game, FIU Coach Sergio Rouco questioned whether UK could duplicate the 11-for-22 three-point shooting that buried his team. Until the first TV timeout, the Cats had made two of six shots (one of four from three-point range).
