“It’s a god awful call, it’s absolutely terrible officiating they should be embarrassed… that call was the worst call I’ve seen in my 29 years of coaching.” Louisville head coach Jeff Walz not holding back on the Olivia Cochran foul call to end the game #GoCards x @WHAS11
Dramatic end to the Syracuse women’s game. Intentional foul puts Dyaisha on the line with 2.3 seconds left. She drains both, SU beats No. 15 Louisville 73-72. Great move by FLJ to insert Kennedi Perkins late to take Fair off the ball.
That's a tough call against Louisville's Olivia Cochran. Intentional foul called with 2.3 seconds left. Likely to lose the game. I know what the rule is. But that's really never called at the end of games. And Louisville falls, 73-72. A really tough loss for Louisville.
