DePaul edges past Louisville to move on to the Sweet Sixteen

LOUISVILLE — They did it.

No. 6 DePaul is back in the Sweet Sixteen after missing out last season after a nail-biting 73-72 win over No. 3 Louisville at the KFC Yum! Center. But, it could’ve very easily been a different outcome were it not for some game-changing plays late.

With 30.2 seconds left in the game Chanise Jenkins was fouled and she went to the line to shoot two free throws up 71-70.

She missed the first, drained the second.

Fifteen seconds later Louisville’s Briahanna Jackson tied the game up with a reverse layup.
