Terry Rozier had 32 points and three steals in the fourth-ranked Louisville Cardinals' 76-67 victory over the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers on Saturday.
The game almost got ugly with 38.7 seconds left before the half. After a post- rebound scrum between the two teams, Louisville forward Montrezl Harrell tried to throw a punch at Western Kentucky guard Avery Patterson. Shortly after, head coaches Rick Pitino and Ray Harper were both given technicals for jawing with each other.
Harrell, who had 14 points and six rebounds, was ejected from the game. He will be suspended for Tuesday's game against Cal State-Northridge.
Chris Jones added 10 points for the Cardinals (10-0), who survived their first true road test of the 2014-15 campaign.
T.J. Price ended with 24 points and seven rebounds for the Hilltoppers (5-5), who had a two-game winning streak snapped. DJ Clayton tallied 14 points.
