The dream season for the Louisville Cardinals continued Thursday night with a buzzer-beating win over the Stanford Cardinal in the second round of the ACC Tournament.

Chucky Hepburn was the hero.

The game-winner for Hepburn accounted for two of his 20 points for the game and propelled Louisville into the semifinal of the ACC Tournament for a matchup with the winner of the ongoing game between the SMU Mustangs and Clemson Tigers.

Hepburn was one of four Cardinals in double figures. Terrance Edwards had a game-high 25 points, and James Scott and Noah Waterman chipped in 12 apiece.

Louisville has knocked off both of those teams already this season, and either matchup would be a showdown on Friday night.
