Good grief another dunk puts Cards up 19. It's a 17-0 run. Tigers in deep trouble on the road. I knew they were outmatched in this one against a hot Louisville team, but yikes.

Mack misses a 3 at the buzzer. That 6-minute scoring drought for the Tigers was a killer, and it will take a miracle to recover on the road against a top-5 team. Simms has also yet to score, and that is a recipe for a bad loss.

TIGERS TRAIL 47-26 AT THE HALF.

Enoch makes a pair of free throws, Tyson makes one free throw and Cards make two more free throws to wrap it up.

TIGERS LOSE 80-62.

They fall to 4-5 in the ACC. Simms and Mack combining for 10 points is simply not going to get it done--especially on the road against a top-10 team. If they had combined for about 35 points as they usually do, the Tigers could easily have won. The 6-minute scoring drought in the first half did the Tigers in. They actually outscored the Cards by 3 in the second half. Good to see them keep fighting despite falling behind by 26 in the second half on the road. They climbed all the way back to within 13, but the deficit was just too big to surmount. Also good to see Hunter and Hemenway contributing after missing weeks with injuries. Each scored 8 points in the second half. Who would have thought both Hunter and Hemenway would have scored more than Simms and Mack?!


The Tigers have a tough Syracuse team at home next on Tuesday at 7:00. Cuse is currently in the top half of the ACC standings, so it's a big game!
