Slightly reminiscent of our comeback against Louisville  in the elite 8.  They were ahead by 14 halfway through the 3rd quarter, but we caught fire behind Prechtel and outscored them 49-20 the rest of the way.  I wonder if there is something about Louisville and their coaching that gets them fired up and effective in the first half, but is ultimately unsustainable for a whole game, causing them to wilt?

I totally thought the same thing. They totally might be a momentum team, and then when things turn they don't know how to get back their edge.

I also was astonished at the sell-out crowd, almost no one wearing a mask, screaming at the top of their lungs.

Why? It's the south. That's how it is there.

Sure, you'll see "policies" like this at every university, including the deep south schools in the SEC. But you'll be hard pressed to find many fans at those schools who will where masks at the games. It's not how they roll.
