A winter storm may be en route to Louisville this weekend, but there's a hurricane coming first. Louisville women's basketball opens up 2025 with a game against Miami. The Cards and Canes will tip off at 7:00pm ET and will be aired on ACCNX.


Louisville is 8-5 on the year and is off to a 1-1 start in ACC play. The Cards fell to NC State in mid-December but most recently won at Boston College on Sunday. Louisville has won two straight games and three of their last four this season.

Miami is 11-2 on the season and 1-1 in the ACC. Most recently, they fell to #17 North Carolina 69-60. Their lone ACC win came at Pitt by six points. They do have wins over 'Power Five' opponents Florida and Oregon State. The Hurricanes had won four straight games before their recent loss to North Carolina.


Miami has been outscoring opponents 74-64 and winning the rebounding battle 38-33. Haley Cavinder leads the Hurricanes with 18.3 points per game and 7.9 rebounds per game. Haley and her sister Hanna have combined for a little over 60% of the team's assists. Cameron Williams and Jasmyne Roberts are both in double figures in scoring at 11.9 and 11.5 ppg, respectively.

Tricia Cullop is in her first season as head coach at Miami after 16 seasons in the same position at Toledo. Her time at Toledo included 13 winning seasons and a pair of NCAA Tournament appearances.


 Louisville leads the series all-time, 9-3. All but one of those games came after Louisville joined the ACC. The Cards have won the last two meetings.


Cardinal Couple plans to have in-person coverage for this game.


Happy Thursday and Go Cards!
