The women on Middle Tennessee rubbed salt in the wounds of Louisville after erasing an 18-point deficit in their upset win in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.

After the No. 11-seed Blue Raiders capped off their 71-69 victory over the No. 6 Cardinals in Baton Rouge on Friday, ESPN cameras captured essentially the entire Middle Tennessee team doing the “L’s down” gesture to mock their opponents.

Then, in a team huddle after the game, Courtney Whitson could be seen galvanizing her teammates as she made the “L’s down” with both hands and all of her teammates responded in kind.

Wheeler, this season’s Conference USA player of the year, struggled in the first half, missing her first six shots and getting in foul t

However, she scored 20 of her 22 points in the second half and explained her mindset after the game.

“I kept telling myself to keep staying aggressive and just keep playing within myself and eventually one is going to fall,” Wheeler said after going 5-of-7 from the field in the second half, including making all three of her 3-point attempts. “We’re a team that we don’t give up. We keep playing hard. We keep fighting.”
