For some reason, it's a lot less scary when you watch it now

Louisville's victory at Villanova on Jan. 10 was the first of three straight wins for the Cardinals over ranked opponents, a stretch that got the basketball world beginning to think that U of L's three non-conference losses might not have been such a big deal.

The win also marked the fan high point of the season in terms of both near heart-attacks and awkward postgame hugging, jumping and screaming.

For those of you who would otherwise be spending this time pacing or taking a Tylenol PM-induced nap, here are the final six minutes of that game.

I love T-Will.

just watched this about 10 min ago

overlooked great play by swop w/ the foul and denying the easy layup…at least it turned out to be a good decision.

I'd forgotten

just how poorly we played, with a few exceptions, in those last six minutes. That long pass by Sosa to no one in particular, the badly-missed, wide-open shots from the top of the key. We were darn lucky to win that thing because ‘Nova had chance after chance at the stripe. That said, it should be remembered that we had a 9 point lead with just under seven minutes to go. We kind of came from ahead to make it close. Perhaps tonight we’ll just kick their ass early and be done with it.
