The start of the 2022–23 men’s basketball season has been one to forget for Louisville. After falling to crosstown mid-major Bellarmine in a dramatic game to open the season, the Cardinals are now 0–2 after a buzzer beater by Wright State.
Louisville held a 72–67 lead with 1:32 remaining in the game, but Wright State surged back. Brandon Noel scored back-to-back field goals, cutting the lead to 72–71 with 12 seconds left. On the Cardinals’ ensuing possession, Tim Finke stole the ball from El Ellis, setting up a jumper from the Raiders’ Trey Calvin, who beat the buzzer for a 73–72 upset win.
