Duke erases 23-point deficit, stuns Louisville

Cam Reddish made a tying 3-pointer with 1:28 left and the go-ahead free throws with 14 seconds remaining, helping No. 2 Duke overcome a 23-point second-half deficit to beat No. 16 Louisville 71-69 on Tuesday.

After making 2 of 17 shots to open the second half, the Blue Devils (22-2, 10-1 Atlantic Coast Conference) got hot and shut down the Cardinals (17-8, 8-4) over the final 9:54 to earn the program’s biggest second-half comeback since 1950.

Zion Williamson (27 points, 12 rebounds) ignored foul trouble and instead drew whistles in his favor, making 8 of 9 from the line before Reddish added a couple of 3s in between free throws — the last two of which followed an official review of what was originally called a charge under Duke’s basket.

Christen Cunningham tried to tie it for Louisville, but his jumper in the lane bounced off the rim and into Williamson’s hands as the final seconds ticked off.

At Lexington, Ky., Kavell Bigbywilliams’s tip-in at the buzzer lifted the Tigers (20-4, 10-1 Southeastern Conference) to a win over the Wildcats (20-4, 9-2).
