Things aren’t always as good as when everything seems to be going well. When things going bad, they are not as bad as it seems.

Louisville leads No. 2 Duke by 23 points with 9:54 to play. The Cardinal fans in the crowd of 22,046 are delirious. Then all of the sudden the bottom falls out. The roof caves in on Louisville. Duke rallied for a 71-69 win leaving the Cardinal faithful in dismay.
