Louisville put a bit of a scare into No. 19 Miami before ultimately falling, 93-85, Saturday night in Coral Gables.
The Cardinals lost despite shooting a season-best 57.9 percent from the field as a team, and despite getting a career-high 33 points from El Ellis.
Ultimately, Louisville was doomed by slow starts to both halves. The Cards allowed Miami to score the first 10 points of the game before fighting back to trail by just one at the break. U of L then failed to carry that momentum over to the second frame, as the quickly allowed the Hurricane lead to balloon back to 11.
