The Cardinals enter Thursday night's home game against Boston College with a share of the Atlantic Coast Conference regular-season title already in hand.

Florida State 67, Louisville 59 — on a night when the Cardinals huffed and puffed to six points in the second quarter and a season-low 17 in the first half.

The No. 7 Cardinals picked up their fourth straight win over the No. 14 Wildcats in the series in a thrilling game that came down to the final buzzer.
