Of course it was going to get wild and weird inside Purcell Pavilion when the Notre Dame Fighting Irish played host to the Louisville Cardinals.
That opening sentence was about as nice as it gets. It was a physical game that saw a lot of fouls, and a lot of no-fouls (typical ACC game with Louisville). The Irish jumped out to a 10 point lead in the first half, as they looked to be a little more potent on offense with the return of Matt Farrell.
That lead didn’t last very long.
