Patrick Antonelli scores the first DI points as the mother decides the game for ESPN

With just two minutes left and a 33-point lead over Indiana, Louisville men’s basketball player Patrick Antonelli entered the game.

24 seconds into the game, the 5-foot-7 guard calmly sank two free throws, giving him his first points ever as a Division I player.

What was already a remarkable achievement for Antonelli was made even more beautiful not by something on the field but by something off it – his mother, Debbie Antonelli, was directing the game for ESPN and was sitting just 30 feet away from him when he saw it made free throws.
