LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) – Montrezl Harrell had 21 points, 14 rebounds and key free throws in the final minute to give No. 12 Louisville a 55-53 win over Miami on Saturday.

Tonye Jekiri added 13 points and 15 rebounds for Miami (17-10, 7-7), his third straight double-double and eighth overall this year.
Down 53-52, Louisville’s Terry Rozier tipped Deandre Burnett’s pass into the hands of Harrell with 55 seconds left. That set up Chris Jones’ drive and pass to Harrell on the opposite end.

Jones added 14 of his 17 points in the second half for Louisville (21-6, 9-5 Atlantic Coast Conference). He returned from a one-game suspension.
