Louisville Beats Stanford on Buzzer-Beater in ACC Tourney Off Unfortunate Turnover
Chucky Hepburn for the win.
In the ACC tournament Thursday, Louisville broke Stanford's heart on a buzzer-beater to advance and head to Friday's semifinal round with a 75–73 win.
Stanford tied the game at 73 apiece with 32 seconds remaining, giving Louisville the chance to drain the clock for a last-second shot. Terrence Edwards Jr. pulled up for a wild three-pointer with five seconds to go, which rimmed out and was grabbed by Stanford's Chisom Okpara in the midst of a crowd.
Okpara let the ball go, and it landed in the hands of Louisville guard Chucky Hepburn. A seemingly surprised Hepburn caught the ball at the elbow and somehow got up a shot.
Hepburn's buzzer-beater gave the Cardinals a dramatic 75-73 win. A victory that almost certainly ends Stanford's season. It was a tough task to take down Louisville (26-6), the ACC's No. 2 seed. That doesn't make the game's ending any easier to swallow, though. You have to feel for Okpara, who just grabbed a huge rebound before the costly moment.
