Durr scored a school-record 47 points, including 13 of Louisville's 15 in overtime.
COLUMBUS, Ohio – Junior guard Asia Durr scored a school-record 47 points as No. 9 Louisville women's basketball downed No. 5 Ohio State, 95-90, in overtime in the Countdown to Columbus on Sunday afternoon.
With the win, the Cards move to 2-0 on the young season, while the Buckeyes fall to 1-1.
"I was just thrilled with our effort, I thought our team did a great job of knowing that Asia was on. We set some great ball screens, we executed our sets, which allowed Asia to come off and get good shots," said head coach Jeff Walz. "It was a great women's basketball game on national television."
In a game of runs, Louisville led the majority of the way, but Ohio State made a late spurt to force overtime.
But, Durr, who controlled the entire game, took over in the extra period. She knocked down 3-of-4 shots and 6-of-6 free throws for 13 of the Cards' 15 overtime points to lead Louisville to victory.
Durr's 47 points surpassed the previous school record of 43, set by Angel McCoughtry in 2009 against Providence.
She finished the game 16-of-29 from the floor, 9-of-15 from three-point range and 6-of-6 from the free throw line. Her nine three-pointers tied the school record, set by Shoni Schimmel against Memphis in 2014.
She added six rebounds and two assists, while playing the end of regulation through overtime with four fouls.
Senior Myisha Hines-Allen finished with 14 points and 15 rebounds for her first double-double of the season and the 30th of her career, which ranks third all-time in school history.
Junior Sam Fuehring added 12 points, on 5-of-7 shooting, six rebounds and took six charges, while sophomore Jazmine Jones had 10 points, eight rebounds and four assists.
Louisville outrebounded Ohio State, 47-29, and limited the Buckeyes to just four offensive rebounds.
The victory marks Louisville's first win over a top five team since they downed No. 1 Baylor in the Sweet 16 in 2013.
Next up, Louisville returns to play in the Women's NIT at home against Toledo on Tuesday night at 7 p.m. ET.
