LEXINGTON, Ky. -- Kentucky's yearlong regular-season winning streak is over and Louisville has started a streak of its own against the Wildcats.
No. 20 Louisville limited No. 2 Kentucky to one field goal over the final 5:47 in a 65-56 victory Saturday, snapping the Wildcats' 27-game regular-season winning streak.
Otis George had 13 points and eight rebounds for Louisville (7-1), which won at Rupp Arena for the first time since 1997-98, a season in which Kentucky won the NCAA title. The Cardinals have won seven straight since a season-opening loss to Iowa.
Kentucky (7-1) had not lost a regular-season game since last Dec. 28, when the Wildcats fell 81-63 at Louisville.
"Kentucky is a great basketball team that just happened to lose tonight," Louisville coach Rick Pitino said. "We were very fortunate to win.
"We had that special moment that happens once in a lifetime."
Pitino is 2-1 against Kentucky, a team he coached for eight seasons and guided to the 1996 national title. After the game, Pitino and current Kentucky coach Tubby Smith -- one of Pitino's former assistants -- hugged at midcourt.
"This is just a great feeling," Louisville's Luke Whitehead said. "Coach Pitino already told us how much this game means to him. He said it meant a lot to us, him and the city and it just makes us so happy."
The Cardinals are 20-1 in December under Pitino the last three seasons, with the only loss coming to Kentucky.
Larry O'Bannon and Whitehead each added 11 points and leading scorer Francisco Garcia had all of his 10 points in the second half for Louisville, which went 15-of-16 from the free throw line.
Louisville, which trailed by five points at halftime, shot 54.2 percent from the field in the second half. Kentucky shot 33.3 percent after halftime and 33.9 percent for the game, after making nine of its first 18 shots.
No. 10 Saint Joseph's 73, Pacific 55
PHILADELPHIA -- Delonte West scored 22 points and Jameer Nelson added 15 for the Hawks (9-0), who are off to their best start since they won their first 10 games in 1964-65.
Christian Maraker scored 15 points and Tyler Newton had 11 for the Tigers (4-6), who beat the Hawks last season.
Chet Stachitas was 4-for-6 from 3-point range and scored all 14 of his points in the second half for Saint Joseph's.
Memphis 61, No. 11 Missouri 59
MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- Antonio Burks scored 17 points and Sean Banks added 13 points and eight rebounds for Memphis, which handed the Tigers their third loss in four games.
Missouri (4-3), which also lost to No. 21 Illinois this week, got within 60-59 on Rickey Paulding's 3-pointer with 4.5 seconds remaining. Jimmy McKinney's running shot from beyond the 3-point line as time ran out bounced off the rim, giving Memphis (7-2) its third straight win.
Arthur Johnson, who fouled out with 2:40 remaining, led Missouri with 14 points and 12 rebounds.
No. 13 Florida 109, E Kentucky 63
GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- Anthony Roberson scored 22 points to lead the Gators (8-2), who shot 64.6 percent (42-for-65).
David Lee of Florida followed a 12-for-12 night Monday against Northeastern with a 4-for-4 game Saturday. In all, Lee, who finished with eight points, has made 17 straight shots and has gone 62 minutes, spanning three games, since his last miss.
