UK Women Fall in OT at UofL
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) – Asia Durr scored seven points in overtime, including a key free throw with 10.3 seconds remaining, and Myisha Hines-Allen had 26 points before fouling out to help No. 7 Louisville edge No. 17 Kentucky 69-67 on Sunday.
Louisville (7-2) ended a five-game losing streak in the annual Bluegrass rivalry. The Cardinals had a chance to win at the end of regulation but couldn’t get a shot off. They regrouped to score the first five points of OT behind Durr’s 3-pointer and the first of Hines-Allen’s two baskets before she exited with 1:15 left.
Briahanna Jackson added a reverse layup and Durr a free throw that proved a cushion against Maci Morris’ 3 with five seconds left that got Kentucky (6-2) within 68-67.
Jackson added a free throw with 4.1 left and sealed off Taylor Murray long enough for the horn to sound and spark a celebration for the Cardinals.
