A pair of late three-pointers from Dwayne Sutton and a wild final possession that saw Notre Dame come up empty allowed Louisville to escape with a 67-64 win Saturday afternoon in South Bend. The game finding a way to avoid overtime might be the biggest upset of the entire 2019-20 college basketball season.
In a story that has become all too familiar to Louisville fans, the Cardinals built a sizable first half advantage, watched it slip away, and then found themselves in a toss-up situation in the game’s final minutes. The main difference between this game and so many others we’ve seen over the last year and a half is that U of L found a way to win.
