GREENSBORO, N.C. -- Myisha Hines-Allen had 21 points and 10 rebounds to help No. 4 Louisville hold off Virginia Tech 73-70 in Friday's Atlantic Coast Conference Tournament quarterfinals.
The top-seeded Cardinals (30-2) had to overcome plenty of trouble and fight to the final minute.
The ninth-seeded Hokies built some early confidence with a nine-point lead. Then newly crowned ACC player Asia Durr struggled with just 11 points on 3-for-19 shooting.
But Hines-Allen -- a former ACC player of the year -- took over in the third quarter and added big baskets in the fourth. That included a 3-pointer with 4:22 left, while Durr hit with a key jumper with 42 seconds left and the Cardinals protecting a 67-64 lead.
