Playing its first game after an extended Covid pause, the Louisville men’s basketball team made all the plays it needed to down the stretch to pull out a 73-69 win over Wake Forest Wednesday night at the KFC Yum Center.
After a back-and-forth first 36 minutes that was — to be kind — difficult to watch for long stretches, the Cardinals and Demon Deacons played a thrilling final four minutes that at one point featured six consecutive made three-pointers between the two teams.
Noah Locke hit two of those triples for U of L, the second of which put the Cardinals ahead 69-67 with just over a minute to play.
