They're separated by one spot in the top 25. And for much of the afternoon, Miami and Louisville matched each other shot for shot, rebound for rebound.
And after the lead changed seven times in a closely-contested matchup, it was the 12th-ranked Hurricanes that prevailed, picking up a 73-65 win over the 11th-ranked Cardinals on Saturday afternoon.
Miami, playing on its home floor at the BankUnited Center for the final time this season, sent its four seniors out in style using a 10-0 run that spanned 4:18 in the game's final minutes to distance itself and secure the win, its second over a top-15 team this week.
