Pitino frustrated with freshman Aaron

The questions popped up once Wayne Blackshear picked up his second foul with about eight minutes to play in the first half. Louisville, for the rest of the first half, used Terry Rozier, Quentin Snider, Anton Gill and David Levitch on the perimeter.

In the second half, with 15:16 left, Blackshear picked up his fourth foul, and Louisville used Levitch at the small forward spot.

Where was Shaqquan Aaron, the 6-foot-7, four-star prospect who was the crown jewel in Louisville's 2014 signing class? On the bench for the first time since the WKU game back on Dec. 20.

"He just doesn't have a Louisville attitude," Louisville coach Rick Pitino said. "He's not a Louisville man in terms of the way we practice, the way we go about it."

"If he doesn't, he'll be at another school," Pitino said. "That's the way it will be. He's never going to step on the court until he gets that attitude."
