VIDEO: Morehead State upsets Louisville

A. Isaac Senior Editor

On paper, 4th seeded Louisville looked like they’d have a cakewalk over 13th seeded Morehead State. But right out of the gate, Morehead State jumped out to a 10-point lead–before Louisville had even scored a point. The Cardinals came storming back at the end of the first half to tie it up and all seemed right with the world.

That is, until Cardinals star Preston Knowles turned an ankle and the world got “flip turned upside down” again. Louisville began to feel the pressure and heat of an epic first round catastrophe.

Trailing by two points, Morehead State’s Demonte Harper drilled a three with 4.2 seconds left that made Bill Raftery scream “ONIONS” at the top of lungs. The shot gave the Eagles the incredible upset win.

And now that Morehead State has moved on, we’d feel remiss if we didn’t show you this screencap from the game. Thus far, she’s our fan of the tourney, but, you know, it’s still early.

And, for what it’s worth Rick Pitino, you’ve provided us with an awesome headline for the game.
