The Louisville basketball team dropped 104 points, won by 50, and showed massive improvement from game one of the Chris Mack era to game two.
The officials Tuesday night made it sort of hard to enjoy all that.
A total of 65 fouls were called and a total of 63 free-throws were attempted by Louisville and Southern. Toss in a bizarre “hook and hold” flagrant 1 call on Malik Williams that took approximately half an hour to review, and you have yourself a game that tipped off at 7 p.m. and barely wrapped up before 9:30.
Even so, the evening was an overwhelmingly positive one for the home team.
