DURHAM, N.C. – Sophomore Matthew Hurt scored a career-high 37 points on 15-of-21 shooting, but Duke fell to Louisville in overtime, 80-73, Saturday night at Cameron Indoor Stadium.
Hurt notched his first career 30-point game and had the highest point-total by a Blue Devil since Grayson Allen in November of 2017. The sophomore fouled out with 19 seconds remaining in the extra period, however, before the Cardinals iced the game at the free throw line. Louisville (13-5, 8-4 ACC) outscored Duke (11-9, 9-7) 15-8 in overtime.
The Cardinals climbed to a 12-point lead early in the second half, but a 16-4 Duke run over a seven-minute stretch capped off by freshman Jeremy Roach's jumper from the baseline knotted the game at 44-44.
