In the Elite 8 sometimes you boom... sometimes you get boomed. Tonight the Cards got boomed.
After a hot start by Louisville, Iowa settled down and came back and took the lead and didn’t look back. The Cards kept it close, and even made it a 1-point game early in the second half, but then it was all Iowa the rest the 3rd quarter. Louisville made a late push in the last few minutes to cut the lead to 10 but it never felt like they were seriously challenging the Hawkeyes. At the final buzzer the Cards’ season was finished.
