FINAL: Syracuse 82, Louisville 76 Louisville shoots itself in the foot with defensive lapses, fights there way back into it, but can’t get the job done. Stop me if you’ve heard that one before. #GoCards x #ForTheVille @WHAS11
If Louisville hadn’t given up an open full-court run for a dunk a the end of the first half or an offensive rebound to the shooter on a free-throw with no other Syracuse player in the lane . . .
SU's lead down to 73-64, Chris Bell comes up with a huge block on Kaleb Glenn. There's 3:29 left. Bell also has 23 points and 7 rebounds.
Well, those two straight Syracuse turnovers were not good. Louisville is within six. Just like that.
Mintz coming back in for Starling at this timeout. SU's lead is a tenuous 48-42 with 14:49 left.
Quadir Copeland with an amazing spin in midair flip shot to put SU up 46-37. But Louisville scores at other end and JJ Starling commits his 3rd foul.
Judah Mintz was upset at a non-call and then gets hit with a technical. UL makes both FTs. SU's lead is down to 44-35.

HALF: Syracuse 39, Louisville 28 The half is fittingly capped off with Judah Mintz throwing down a tomahawk right before the buzzer. Cards playing sloppy offense down the stretch #GoCards x #ForTheVille @WHAS11
