SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) Demetrius Jackson matched his career high with 27 points, Steve Vasturia added 20 and Notre Dame rallied from 11 points down in the second half to beat No. 13 Louisville 71-66 on Saturday.

The Irish (18-7, 9-4 Atlantic Coast Conference) used three 7-0 spurts in the second half to get the win, the final one coming after Ray Spalding's layup with 6:36 remaining gave Louisville a 63-62 lead. The Irish regained the lead with a 3-pointer by V.J. Beachem, a layup by Zach Auguste and two free throws by Jackson.

Damion Lee, who led the Cardinals (19-6, 8-4) with 13 points, hit a 3-pointer with 16 seconds left to cut the lead to 69-66. But Lee missed another 3-point try with 5 seconds left and Auguste clinched the win with two free throws a second later.
