Instant Analysis: How DePaul knocked out third-seeded Louisville
— -- LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- DePaul wasn't sure where it was going on the first possession of a second-round game against Louisville, confusion on the tip resulting in an over-and-back violation, but the Blue Demons know where they're going now. The Sweet 16 awaits after a 73-72 win.
The Blue Demons found their bearings and roared to another hot first half in the tournament, then held on for dear life against the Cardinals and most of a crowd of 7,515 in the KFC Yum! Center.
Louisville's Briahanna Jackson tied the game with 15 seconds left, but she was called for a foul on an inbounds play on the ensuing DePaul possession that sent DePaul's Jessica January to the line. January left the first free throw short but hit the second for a one-point lead.
Louisville's Myisha Hines-Allen was whistled for a charge with 1.7 seconds remaining and Mariya Moore missed a heave as time expired.
Some quick thoughts on an upset in Louisville.
Player of the game: Can you be the equivalent of Mr. October in March if your last name is January? She didn't have quite as many points as South Florida's Courtney Williams or Ohio State's Kelsey Mitchell in big performances over the weekend, but January's 25 points were every bit as important to her team's success.
