Trapp misses a 3 to end the half. But nice to see them battling and leading much of the half after 3 straight blowout losses! Also, Louisville was just 3-11 from 3. The Tigers gave up a ridiculous 43 three-pointers over the last 3 games, with the opponents averaging over 50%.


TIGERS TRAIL 22-21 AT THE HALF.

TIGERS WIN 54-50!!!


Tigers end their 3-game skid with another win over a ranked team! Hopefully that gets them back to where they were before the Covid layoff. They still have a great shot to make the NCAA Tourney at 4-4 in the ACC and big wins over Alabama, which is top-10 and undefeated in the SEC, FSU, Louisville and Purdue.

I'll have post-game interviews in a bit!
