Middle Tennessee State took down Louisville for the second year in a row at March Madness on Friday. The Blue Raiders’ women’s basketball team did not let the Cardinals forget!
They hit them with the ‘Ls Down’ right in their face as soon as the clock hit zero. It was savage.
MTSU, an 11-seed, won 29 games and the Conference USA Tournament to earn an automatic bid to the Big Dance.
Its opponent won 24 games and received an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament as a 6-seed.Their meeting in Baton Rouge went down to the wire!
The Cardinals went up by 18 points with two minutes and 44 seconds left in the second quarter but could not fend off a comeback. The Blue Raiders took their first lead of the game with under a minute left in the third quarter and kept the pressure throughout the fourth quarter.
Louisville guard Merissah Russell ultimately threw up a half-court heave as time expired. It rimmed out.
As soon as the clock hit zero, Middle Tennessee immediately began to taunt. They held the Louisville ‘L’ before the losers even had a chance to leave the court and turned it upside down right in their faces.

This will not be their only opportunity to throw ‘Ls Down’ during the first weekend of the tournament. Middle Tennessee advanced to face the reigning national champions on their home court.
Beating LSU will not be easy. It is improbable.
However, THIS IS MARCH! Anything can happen in March.
If the Blue Raiders are able to get their second win in three days, they are going to be insufferable in the best way possible. All of America will be rooting for them — and the possibility of more ‘Ls Down’ — on Sunday!
