LOUISVILLE, Ky. — The Ls belong to Louisville, not unbeaten App State, which celebrated a signal of time’s up on the Cardinals’ home floor.
App State secured a signature victory in dramatic fashion Tuesday night, winning 61-60.
The Mountaineers, who are off to their first 3-0 start since the 1997-98 season, scored the opening basket 29 seconds into the game and led the rest of the way, as head coach Dustin Kerns‘ squad built the advantage to as many as 16 points in the first half.
Louisville’s El Ellis drove for what was potentially a game-winning layup at the buzzer, but a video review by the game officials quickly determined that Ellis released the shot after time had expired.
