Peyton Siva sat by himself in a corner of a stunned Louisville locker room. He seemed to know he would have a long time, a whole offseason, to shoulder what had just unfolded here at the Pepsi Center.
Siva's fourth-seeded Louisville team was ambushed Thursday by in-state Kentucky little brother Morehead State, 62-61, the first big upset of the NCAA men's basketball tournament. It happened on a three-pointer right in Siva's grille with 4.2 seconds left by Morehead's senior guard, Demonte Harper, who had missed all of his previous five treys.
Executing a play that came to his coach the night before, Morehead State's Demonte Harper dribbled patiently and watched the clock tick down. Then, he stepped up behind the 3-point line and swished the shot with 4.2 seconds left Thursday for a 62-61 victory over No. 4 Louisville and the first big upset of the NCAA tournament.
The Morehead State Eagles took down the 4-seeded Louisville Cardinals with an incredible 3-pointer just seconds before the buzzer. Demonte Harper sank the shot with the clock winding down, risking it all despite the fact that the Eagles were down by 2.
