Not in the Cards for Eagles

Deng Adel had all 18 points and 10 rebounds after halftime, including a late free throw that helped Louisville hold off Boston College, 77-69, in men’s basketball yesterday in Louisville, Ky., for its fourth consecutive victory.

The Cardinals’ 12-2 surge just after the break propelled them COLLEGES to a 46-33 lead that eventually reached 18 with 3:57 remaining. The Eagles weren’t done and stormed back within 71-69 on Jordan Chatman’s 3 with 33 seconds left. After King’s two free throws made it a four-point game, Chatman’s long-range attempt bounced off the rim and out of bounds.

Ryan McMahon then made two from the line before King made two more to seal the tense win. Adel’s free throw was the first of 10 Louisville (15-4, 5-1 ACC) made to close the game.

King finished with 15 points, and Jordan Nwora had 15 for the Cardinals.
