Chucky Hepburn’s Buzzer-Beater Sends Cardinals to ACC Semifinals

The Louisville Cardinals’ journey back to March Madness has been a long one, but Thursday night’s thrilling comeback win over Stanford in the ACC Tournament was the perfect reminder of why fans have kept their faith with Pat Kelsey’s team. Down by 15 points with just 14:32 left to play, Chucky Hepburn’s clutch second-chance jumper at the buzzer sent the No. 2-seeded Cardinals into the semifinals.

The largest comeback of the season was capped off when Hepburn’s shot went through, putting Louisville ahead 75-73 and sending the crowd into a frenzy. Fans took to social media to share their ecstatic reactions, with many taking videos of themselves screaming in shock and celebration.

With this win, the Cardinals will face No. 3 Clemson on Friday for a spot in the ACC Tournament championship game, where they could potentially face either top-ranked Duke or fifth-seeded North Carolina.
