Louisville had a slight 36-29 lead going into the half which grew to 59-41 near the end of the third quarter. Louisville was rolling and at that point Asia Durr threw a gorgeous alley oop pass to Jazmine Jones who laid it in perfectly. However, the official called a technical on Jazmine which took the wind out of the sails of the team and the crowd. Kentucky followed the technical free throws with a Taylor Murray layup and the momentum Louisville had been riding seemed to stall.

Still, the Cards nursed a double digit lead going into the last few minutes of the game.
