Just when you thought you’d seen every way to lose a game by a single point.
Louisville fell to 0-4 in ACC play Tuesday night via a 70-69 loss to Syracuse that included one of the most frenetic finishes in recent memory.
After a back-and-forth final few minutes, the Cardinals found themselves trailing by a point with 8.3 seconds to play following a pair of made free-throws by El Ellis. Syracuse freshman Judah Mintz broke the U of L full-court press but slipped and lost the ball after crossing midcourt. This put the ball in the hands of Ellis, who appeared to have the lane for a pass to Mike James for a potential game-winning layup.
