University of Louisville WBB Official twitterNorthwestern is not known for their 3-point shooting... so naturally they came out shooting lights out against the Cards in the first quarter. They were shooting 64% overall to the Cards’s 21% and Louisville found themselves down 25-10. In the second quarter Louisville turned up the defensive pressure and kept Northwestern from scoring but the Cards went into halftime with only 20 points. In the second half the offense started clicking and Louisville went on a 17-0 run and on the first play of the 4th quarter Louisville took the lead on a Kianna Smith layup. They would never trail again. In the end the Cards staged one of the the largest comebacks in NCAA history and won the game 62-53.
