 ===== Recap  ===== ===== Recap  =====
 +{{ men_s_basketball:mason_game_winner_louisville.jpg?200}}Down 80-78 with under three seconds left, [[Louisville]]'s Alhaji Mohammed forgot who he was guarding as the Cards prepared to defend a Marquette out-of-bounds play from underneath the goal. The recipient of this good fortune for the Golden Eagles was freshman [[Dameon Mason]], who was standing all by himself in the left corner. Trigger man [[Scott Merritt]] found Mason, who drilled the baseline jumper and was fouled by Mohammed.
 +
 +After a timeout, Mason calmly sank the free-throw and Louisville threw the ball away to ensure yet another loss for the slumping 24th ranked Cardinals.
 +
 +It seemed as though [[Louisville]] had caught a massive break moments earlier when [[Travis Diener]] was whistled for his fith foul, when replay proved that it was actually [[Carlton Christian]] who was the guilty party. The Golden Eagles' [[Brandon Bell]] then came down and took a wild three-pointer that bounced hard off the back-board, but went off the hands of Francisco Garcia to give MU its final shot.
 +
 +The drama only increased after the final buzzer, however, as the Golden Eagle staff found multiple copies of a Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel article in the [[Louisville]] locker room which had been doctored to include a quote from [[Tom Crean]] calling the Cardinals one of C-USA's "lesser teams." Crean called the motivational ploy low and ridiculous, while Pitino said it was a joke he had no prior knowledge of.
 +
 +The win was also notable because it was Crean's 100th at Marquette.
