Chucky Hepburn was the straw that stirred the drink for Louisville, finishing with a 13-point and 16-assist double-double. The assist mark broke the single-game UofL record, which was previously 15 by Francisco Garcia on Jan. 3, 2004 vs. Murray State.

Against an AP top-25 team at home, SMU had a prime opportunity to earn the statement win lacking from its résumé. While the Mustangs are off to a strong start in 2024-25, they’ve lost all of their marquee matchups — and most of them by large margins.

Louisville basketball recorded its 9th straight win Tuesday night in Dallas. See UofL basketball vs SMU highlights from the ACC game.
