Lucas: Louisville Rapid Reactions

By Adam Lucas

1. Carolina got just enough to win out of a frantic second half, winning an absolute must-win ACC road game in overtime at Louisville and infuriating almost everyone in the Yum Center crowd. I'm not sure I have ever seen a game quite like that.

2. That game never should have been as close as it was. Carolina had a 55-45 lead with 12:45 left, but proceeded to take enough bad shots to let the Cardinals back into the game.

3. Without Malik Williams, Louisville's strategy in the post primarily seemed to be getting physical with Armando Bacot.
