Despite playing from behind for nearly the entirety of the afternoon, the Louisville men’s basketball team was able to escape with a 90-84 overtime victory over New Mexico State on Sunday at the KFC Yum Center.
The Cardinals trailed by eight points with just 1:09 to play before a furious rally sent the game to overtime. The 8-0 run was capped by a Tre White three-pointer from the top of the key with 14.6 seconds to left. Mike James was then whistled for a blocking foul with only 1.5 seconds to go, but New Mexico State’s Kaosi Ezeagu missed both free-throws.
