Louisville will travel to Miami to face the Hurricanes on Wednesday. The battle will be between two strikingly similar teams statistically. Miami and Louisville both are nearly identical defensively with UofL fouling more often than UM. Offensively the Canes have a slight edge, but the Cards shoot free throws dramatically better than Miami. This game will be on the road for the Cards and while the Canes have slid out of the polls Miami is still a very strong team at 14-4 (3-3 ACC).
Miami started 10-0 and currently claims wins over Minnesota, Middle Tennessee State, Florida State and NC State. UM has fallen to New Mexico State, Georgia Tech, Clemson & Duke. The Cards will have to SCORE to beat Miami in its own gym. Here is the stat comparison:
