Louisville breaks out of offensive funk in rout of Florida State

Louisville scored more points than it had in any game since Jan. 28 in a comfortable win in Tallahassee, downing Florida State 81-59.

The game marked the first meeting between the two sides since the Seminoles downed the Cardinals in 1991.

Montrezl Harrell was the catalyst for the 17th-ranked Cardinals, scoring 16 points and adding four rebounds, an assist, a steal and a block, all while knocking down eight of his 10 attempts from the field.

Louisville guard Wayne Blackshear led all scorers with 18 points on 7-of-13 shooting, stuffing the stat sheet with four rebounds, three assists, two blocks and a steal. Guard Terry Rozier shot just 3-of-14 from the field, but supplemented his 10 points with nine assists, six steals and three rebounds.

Florida State guard Montay Brandon paced the Seminoles in scoring with 13 points on 5-of-6 shooting.

The win is Louisville's third in a row since dropping three of four from Feb. 7 through Feb. 18. The Cardinals will return home for a tough closeout to their regular season schedule, with dates against No. 9 Notre Dame and No. 2 Virginia remaining.
