CORAL GABLES, Fla. — \u2014 Ryan Conwell<\/a> scored 18 of his 24 points in the first half, Adrian Wooley<\/a> hit the go-ahead 3-pointer with 18.4 seconds remaining and Louisville wasted a 12-point lead before hanging on to beat No. 22<\/a> Miami 92-89 on Saturday.<\/p>\n

The ACC Tournament starts Tuesday in Charlotte, North Carolina. The Hurricanes \u2014 who were bidding for a school-record 25th regular-season win \u2014 had previously clinched the No. 3 seed.<\/p>\n

Louisville \u2014 which shot 61% \u2014 snapped a 14-game road losing streak against ranked opponents. The Cardinals’ last such win before Saturday was Jan. 18, 2020, at Duke.<\/p>\n

Miami used a 27-12 run in the second half to take a three-point lead late, before Louisville rallied. Wooley’s 3 put the Cardinals on top for good, Conwell added two free throws after a Hurricanes turnover on the ensuing possession and Louisville held on from there.<\/p>\n

Miami had a chance to force overtime at the buzzer, but Washington’s try from just inside midcourt hit the rim twice before bouncing off.<\/p>\n

Up next <\/p>\n
