Any suspense about the outcome of the Final Four game between the University of Louisville women’s basketball team and South Carolina ended when UofL’s Emily Engstler went down in a tumble and was called for her fifth foul.
She was done, UofL was done in its fourth trip to the Final Four under Jeff Walz in his 15th season.
Engstler knew it, head in her lap on the bench, her college career over, her year with the Louisville program. Weeping uncontrollably, unable to control herself or offer encouragement to her teammates.
