Jordan Nwora scored 20 points and Malik Williams added a career-high 19 as Louisville opened ACC play with a 90-73 win over visiting Miami Sunday evening.
The lopsided final score would shock anyone who saw just the game’s opening 10 minutes. Miami connected on five of its first six three-point attempts, racing out to a 19-9 lead that would eventually balloon to as many as 15 just after the midway point of the first half. Louisville then went on a 14-2 run spearheaded by Nwora’s lethal outside shooting.
It was all U of L in the second half, as a Miami team currently fielding just seven scholarship players simply didn’t have the stamina to keep pace.
