No. 3 Louisville Wraps Regular Season at Pitt

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – No. 3 Louisville women's basketball (26-2, 13-2) concludes regular season play at Pittsburgh on Sunday afternoon at 2 p.m. ET.

The Cardinals are coming off of one of the most memorable senior nights ever as Asia Durr tied her own program-record with 47 points and knocked down an ACC record 11 3-pointers in the 92-62 win over No. 10 NC State.

Durr scored 47 points on 17-27 shooting from the floor, while going 11-17 from 3-point range. She opened the game with 22 points in the first quarter, while shooting 8-11 from the floor and 6-8 from deep. Her 17 field goals also tied the program record for the most made in a game.

She also scored 47 points in a 95-90 overtime win at No. 5 Ohio State a season ago. Durr's 47 points also eclipses the men's basketball single game scoring record, which is 45 points by Wes Unseld vs. Georgetown on Dec. 1, 1967.

Sam Fuehring finished with 12 points and 12 rebounds against the Wolfpack for her fifth double-double of the season and the ninth of her career.

UofL shot 52.2 percent vs. NC State and 51.7 percent from the floor vs. Boston College and have shot over 50 percent 12 times (12-0). It marks the first time they have shot over 50 percent in consecutive games since they did so vs. UTM (.529), UK (.564), and NKU (.507). The game vs. BC marked the first time they shot over 50 percent since they shot 55.6 percent at Florida State.

Louisville has scored 179 points in their last two games, which is the most in a two-game stretch since they scored 182 combined vs. UTM and UK.

UofL has won 91 consecutive games against non-AP Top 25 teams. Their last loss a 79-66 setback vs. unranked Dayton in the Gulf Coast Showcase in Estero, Fla. on Nov. 29, 2015.

With a win against the Panthers, the Cardinals clinch a piece of their second consecutive ACC regular season title and at least the No. 2 seed in the ACC Tournament. It would mark the program's seventh ever regular season conference crown and the first time in program history that they have won back-to-back.
