Louisville lost in embarrassing fashion to the Creighton Bluejays in the opening game of the NCAA tournament.
Long shots
Six straight misses started the game before Chucky Hepburn scored the game’s first field goal, quickly outdoing himself with a three-pointer to take the lead for the Cards.
But the jitters wouldn’t last for long, as the Bluejays started attacking the basket. Once they were able to suck in the defense, they kicked it out to a wide-open Steven Ashworth for three to bring the score to 7-11.
After Aboubacar Traore drew within two and the Cards grabbed a loose board, Reyne Smith hit a corner three to give the Cards back the lead.
