Russ Smith air balls, Cleanthony Early throws down big dunk

The last 60 seconds did not go so well for Louisville.

The Louisville Cardinals have not played their best half of basketball against Wichita State. The Cards came out a bit nervous in front of a huge Final Four crowd, and they had to dig themselves out of an early hole.

With about six minutes left in the half, Russ Smith lined up a three-pointer from the corner. This happened.
