Louisville Cardinals, Ky. (AP) Terrence Edwards Jr. scored 27 points while distributing 10 assists and committing just two turnovers and Louisville controlled the majority of the way in beating struggling Miami 88-78 on Saturday.
Reyne Smith scored 26 points and J'Vonne Hadley scored 12 for the Cardinals (18-6, 11-2 ACC) who finished shooting 49.3% (33 for 67). Louisville shot 11 for 12 (91.7%) from the foul line.
Reserve A.J. Staton-McCray scored 22 points, Matthew Cleveland scored 21 points, and Lynn Kidd and Divine Ugochukwu each scored 10 for Miami (5-18, 1-11). Cleveland has scored 20-plus points in six straight games.
Louisville shot 54.1% (20 for 37) in the first half in which Edwards shot 6 for 9 and scored 15 points.
Louisville guard Chucky Hepburn did not play due to a groin injury sustained within the first five minutes of the second half in Wednesday's road win at Boston College.
Hepburn's replacement Noah Waterman threw down a dunk and two possessions later buried a 3-pointer for a 19-14 Cardinals advantage with 11:51 before halftime. The Cardinals went to the break up 46-38.
The Hurricanes closed to within 52-49 with a 14-6 spurt early in the second half but were never closer.
Miami hosts Syracuse on Tuesday. Louisville travels to play N.C. State on Wednesday.
