The Polar Bears would dominate the final period as they held the Leopards the only a single field goal in the final eight minutes. Louisville trailed just 36-35 and had possession with 20 seconds remaining, but they were unable to connect to take the lead. On the other end, Alayna McMullen tacked on a pair of free throws with 0.5 seconds remaining to clinch the victory for Jackson.
