Despite blowing a 26-point lead, the Louisville Cardinals were able to secure their first win in the ACC tournament against FSU by a final score of 82-74.
Louisville led by 19 at halftime and held a 26-point lead with just over 11 minutes in the game. But, a ferocious comeback by FSU brought the score too close for comfort. Louisville was able to hit shots (some lucky) down the stretch and held on to win the game that 100% put them in the NCAA tournament (1% if the Cards lost).
Quentin Snider led the way with 19 points, 6 assists and 5 rebounds. Ray Spalding scored 18 points. Deng Adel had 15 points and 8 rebounds. Dwayne Sutton and Darius Perry gave the Cards the bench energy they needed with 10 and 8 points, respectively.
Up next: Louisville plays Virginia tomorrow at Noon in the ACC Quarterfinals.
Go Cards!
