Louisville ended Gonzaga’s season last year and came into the Battle 4 Atlantis like it was a bit of a grudge match. Things started off chippy. There were three technicals called in the first half. The Cards had 15 of their 20 turnovers in the first half but still went into halftime just down 28-29.
Gonzaga held a slight lead for most of the second half. However the Cards finally regained the lead with 44 seconds remaining in regulation off of a layup from freshman Nyla Harris. Unfortunately they couldn’t retain the lead, and the game went into overtime.
