LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Louisville found a way to rattle Georgetown, shaking up the Big East in the process.

David Padgett scored 18 points, Jerry Smith added 16 and the Cardinals roared past the sixth-ranked Hoyas, 59-51 on Saturday night.

Smith Steals Victory For Tennessee Against LSU

BATON ROUGE, La. - JaJuan Smith's steal and layup with 11 seconds left gave seventh-ranked Tennessee a 47-45 victory over LSU, in the Tigers' first game since the firing of coach John Brady.

The Volunteers (21-2, 8-1 SEC) had lost all of a 12-point second-half advantage when Chris Johnson converted a three-point play with 1:15 left. After Chris Lofton missed an open 3-point attempt, the Tigers had an opportunity to take the lead.

Anthony Randolph was fouled but missed the front end of a one-and-one. LSU (8-14, 1-7) maintained possession when the ball went out of bounds off Wayne Chism with 19 seconds to go.

After the inbound, Smith made his steal from Marcus Thornton and drove almost three-quarters of the court for the go-ahead layup. The basket represented his only points of the game.
