Louisville’s furious second half rally fell just short as Mike James’ potential game-tying three at the buzzer found nothing but iron and the Cards fell to Florida State, 81-78, Saturday afternoon inside the KFC Yum Center.
The loss dropped U of L to 3-20 on the season, marking just the second time in the 109-year history of the program that the Cardinals have lost 20 games. The team’s next loss will set a new program record.
Louisville trailed by nine points at halftime and by as many as 17 in the second half before a late 17-2 run drew the game even at 76 points apiece with 1:24 to play.
