Miami Continues Homestand Against No. 7 Louisville
CORAL GABLES, Fla.Ā ā The Miami women’s basketball team welcomes its second top-10 team in as many days on Thursday when it hosts No. 7/7 Louisville for the second game of a three-game homestand. Tipoff is set for 8 p.m. and the game will air on ACC Network with Pam Ward and Debbie Antonelli on the call. Fans can also listen to the game on WVUM 90.5.
Ā
This will be just the seventh meeting between the two programs as Louisville did not join the ACC until the 2014-15 season. The Cardinals hold the 4-2 series edge over the Canes and Miami is 0-2 against Louisville when playing at home.
Ā
A pair of wins for the Canes bookend the series with the first coming in 1989 and the second coming 20 years later in 2019. Miami knocked off No. 2/2 Louisville on the road a season ago, marking the first win over a top-3 opponent in Miami program history. Three of the six meetings between the schools have been decided by single-digits.
Ā
Playing without ACC Preseason Player of the Year, Beatrice Mompremier, the Canes hung with No. 8/8 Florida State on Sunday before falling, 73-62, in the Watsco Center. Miami crashed the glass hard against Florida State, outrebounding the Seminoles, 36-33. This was the first time this season that Florida State has been outrebounded and the Canes held the Seminoles to 10 under their season average for rebounding (43.9).
Ā
Louisville enters Thursday’s contest 14-1 overall with a 3-0 record in ACC play. The Cards are riding a six-game win streak and have beaten a pair of ranked teams this season, including then top-ranked Oregon. Louisville’s only loss of the season was a 67-60 setback at Ohio State on Dec. 5.
Ā
Junior guard Mykea Gray continues to produce for the Canes, recording her sixth straight double-digit outing on Sunday against Florida State. The guard ranks second on the team in scoring (12.1 points per game).
Ā
Gray’s 21 points against Florida State was a new season-high, with 10 of those 21 points coming in the fourth quarter alone. The Maryland native has recorded 50 double-digit outings in her career and is just 29 points away from 1,000 career points.
