In a surprising upset, No. 2 women’s basketball (23-2, 10-2) took its second loss of the season to No. 20 Miami (22-5, 10-2). Louisville led by as much as 14 points in the first half, but the visiting Hurricanes stormed back with defense and interior offense for a 79-73 win.
“I’m surprised. I thought after the way we played against Virginia Tech and Syracuse we’d come out with a lot of fire,” head coach Jeff Walz said. “I don’t think I prepared us very well for this game.”
The game started off with the Cards on top 22-13 at the end of the first quarter, then 37-29 at halftime.
