LOUISVILLE, Ky. - On the heels of a thrilling come-from behind win over SMU to kick off their run in the ACC Tournament, the Louisville men's basketball program has a rematch in store for their next postseason matchup, taking on Miami in the semifinals of the conference tournament.

Earning the No. 6 for the ACC Tournament, the No. 24 AP-ranked Cardinals were nearly sent home early by the Mustangs in the second round. Trailing by a point in the final two minutes, Second-Team All-ACC guard Ryan Conwell hit a pair of clutch baskets down the stretch to give UofL a 62-58 win.

Conwell finished with a team-high 16 points, while Adrian Wooley added 14 points, and Isaac McKneely finished with 10 points, seven rebounds and five assists - the latter two of which led the team. Second year head coach Pat Kelsey also moves to 3-1 in the ACC Tournament.

As for the Hurricanes, they clinched a double bye and the No. 3 seed in tournament thanks to a fantastic turnaround by first year head coach Jai Lucas. Inheriting a program that went just 7-24 last season and saw all 13 scholarship players depart, he has guided Miami to their most wins since reaching the Final Four during the 2022-23 season, and they tied for their most regular season wins ever.
