CORAL GABLES, Fla. \u2014 No. 22 Miami continues to break free as one of the best teams in the ACC, and they have a chance to solidify the best regular season in program history against the Louisville Cardinals. <\/p>\n
The Cardinals provide a lot of challenges for the Canes, but after the SMU matchup, there has been a tournament-style feel with this team that continues to shine. Against the Cardinals, that can also feel the same, with a step above in competition.<\/p>\n
Definitely clash of styles, but it’ll be an exciting game. It’ll be an entertaining game,” head coach Jai Lucas said. “You know, one thing about this week: I feel like the SMU game was a comparison for the season, a little bit different, but the same conceptually in how they play. But, you know, with the game, just like you, it’s a game that I think they’re still fighting for seeding. <\/p>\n
“I don’t know where they are. \u2029I think it’s like a tie-breaker or something. It’s the same for us. We’re not fighting for Seed, but we’re fighting for everything we want. And we still have to go to attack. It’s all I expect them to be at a high level. I expect him to play with greater urgency and desperation and come in and try to get a win.”<\/p>\n
Seeding is already set for the Miami Hurricanes as they earned a three-seed and double bye in the ACC Tournament. The Cardinals continue to fight for a 6th seed, that could also force them to see the Canes again in the Tournament. <\/p>\n
