Irish top Louisville in five-overtime
thriller for a late-season recharge
By Wes Morgan
O
n Feb. 9, the Notre
Dame men's basketball team was
one minute and a
couple made Louisville
free throws away from its
third loss at home and its
second defeat in a row,
which would have meant
losing more ground in a
hyper-competitive Big
East Conference. And
with ESPN's College
GameDay on campus
to broadcast from every
angle, the Fighting Irish
and No. 11 Cardinals
didn't do much to boost
ratings in what was a
snoozer for 39 minutes.
These two programs
have an uncanny ability
to make it interesting,
however, and the folks
that tuned out early or
Jerian Grant scored 12 points in 29 seconds to rally Notre Dame
from an eight-point deficit in the closing minute against Louisville left Purcell Pavilion to
Feb. 9 and help make possible an epic 104-101 five-overtime victory. beat traffic will never forphoto by joe raymond get what they never saw.
