Louisville women’s basketball surges late to defeat Colorado

By Derek DeBurger

No. 22 Louisville escaped with a win at home against the Colorado Buffaloes.

Again…

The Cards started Wednesday’s game with a hitch in their step.

After forcing a shot-clock violation on Colorado’s first possession, Louisville couldn’t get any offense going themselves.

Colorado finally broke the seal with a putback, and the two teams briefly went blow-for-blow.

However, the Buffaloes slowly took the lead that inched into nine points by the middle of the quarter.

After falling down 21-10, Jeff Walz opted not to call a timeout but instead let his team play on.
