Pittsburgh, PA (SportsNetwork.com) - Terry Rozier matched a career high with 26 points and 10th-ranked Louisville got its offense back on track in an 80-68 win over Pittsburgh at Petersen Events Center. After shooting just 29.5 percent that included a dreadful 4-of-25 rate from 3-point range in their last game, a 63-52 home loss to Duke eight days ago, the Cardinals hit on 65.2 percent of their field goal attempts in a strong bounce-back effort. Montrezl Harrell, playing for the first time since being stripped of his captains role by head coach Rick Pitino in a well-publicized move during the week, went 8-of-12 from the floor in an 18-point effort for Louisville (16-3, 4-2 ACC). Chris Jones buried 3-of-4 tries from beyond the arc en route to 17 points. Jamel Artis posted 18 points and eight rebounds for Pittsburgh (13-7, 3-4), with James Robinson recording 16 points and six assists in the loss and Michael Young finishing with 14 points and nine boards. The Cardinals came out on fire following their eight-day layoff, making good on a scorching 70.8 percent of their field goal tries in the first half while building a 40-30 lead at the break. Rozier led the way with 18 points on 8- of-11 shooting. Louisville didnt pull away until the latter stages of the opening frame, however. The Cardinals were up by only two with under 4 1/2 minutes to go before embarking on a 12-2 run to claim a 40-28 advantage. Rozier recorded five points during the tear, which ended with Jones getting fouled while converting a layup off a steal and sinking the ensuing bonus shot with 1:58 left in the half. The Panthers scored the first five points of the second half to pull within five, but Louisville countered with an 8-0 spurt and remained ahead by double digits over most of the duration. Harrell began the flurry with an emphatic dunk and Jones followed with a triple in front of Mangok Mathiangs 3-point play that extended the margin to 48-35 with under 13 minutes left. It was an 18-point spread after another Jones trey preceded Harrells inside bucket that put the Cardinals up 62-44 with 6:59 to play. The Panthers did make a late bid to get back in it, putting together an 8-2 flurry capped by an Artis jumper that cut the deficit to 66-58 with 4:05 remaining. Pitt didnt make another basket over the next 2 1/2 minutes, however, as the Cardinals put the game away with an 8-2 run.

The Giants on Saturday placed Manningham on injured reserve along with fellow receiver Trindon Holliday, and released Painter in reducing their roster to the NFLs 53-man limit. Three other members of last years team — fullback John Conner, running back Michael Cox and receiver Julian Talley — were among the 22 roster moves. Manninghams legacy with the Giants will be his spectacular, late fourth-quarter sideline catch to ignite the Giants win over the Patriots in the 2012 Super Bowl. He was re-signed after playing for San Francisco, but he had off-season knee surgery followed by a poor training camp. He injured a calf in the preseason finale against New England on Thursday, sealing his fate. A former Bronco, Holliday was signed by the Giants in the off-season with the hope that he might star in the return game. He injured a hamstring early in training camp and did not play in a game. The release of Painter means Ryan Nassib will be Eli Mannings backup. "Ryan Nassib made big strides," coach Tom Coughlin said of the second-year player who threw for 588 yards and five touchdowns as New York went 5-0 in the preseason. "I think that his third and fourth preseason games were outstanding." New York, which went 7-9 last year in missing the playoffs for the second straight season, also terminated the contracts of veteran tight end Kellen Davis and defensive end Israel Idonije. Davis was a member of the Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks last season. Idonije, an 11-year veteran, played for the Detroit Lions last season. Also released were defensive tackle Kelcy Quarles, defensive end Jordan Stanton; linebackers Dan Fox and Terrell Manning, cornerbacks Bennett Jackson and Chandler Fenner, safety Thomas Gordon, running back Kendall Gaskins, guard Jamaal Johnson-Webb, offensive tackles Adam Gress and Mark&nnbsp;Asper.dddddddddddd. Offensive tackle Rogers Gaines was waived injured. The Giants also received roster exemptions for guard Eric Herman and cornerback Jayron Hosley, who are suspended the first four games of the season for violating the NFLs performance-enhancing drug policy and substance-abuse policy, respectively. Jackson, a sixth-round pick, was the only selection in the recent draft not to make the team. "Even on a day like this where I have to let people go, when I see what the game means to certain players and when I see that, then I think theres hope, to be honest with you. I do," Coughlin said. "Not just hope here, hope for everybody in this world because were not going through the motions. They love it. They love what theyre doing, they love the game." The Giants also announced Saturday that middle linebacker Jon Beason passed his physical and is ready to practice. He has been on the physically unable to perform list after breaking a foot in June at minicamp. "You need that kind of dynamic leadership," Coughlin said. "The guy loves the game, he loves to play it. Hell have the biggest smile on his face come Monday when he trots out there." Guard Geoff Schwartz, who signed a $16.8 million contract in the off-season, is on the active roster, but he will be sidelined for a while with a dislocated toe. The final roster included a couple of players who overcame long odds to make the team, at least for now. The biggest surprises were receivers Corey Washington and Preston Parker. An undrafted rookie, Washington was released by Arizona in late May and made the final roster after catching four touchdown passes in the preseason. Parker made the team after being out of the NFL for a year. "Prestons been around a little bit," Coughlin said. "Preston also has the punt return/kickoff return ability. Right now thats very critical for us, because Odell Beckham was going to be the punt returner." ___ AP NFL websites: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL ' ' '
