Louisville survives USF comeback bid in March Madness first round
For the first time since 2017, Louisville is advancing to the second round of the NCAA Tournament despite nearly blowing a lead against USF.
The Cardinals looked to be in firm control for most of the game, entering halftime with a 10-point lead and going up by as much as 23 in the second half. USF constructed a few spirited runs at various points in the second half, but Louisville held on in the final minutes to secure the 83-79 victory.
