Greer's jumper with 3:09 remaining gave DePaul (16-8, 9-4) the lead for good at 59-58. Drake Diener split a pair at the line with 11 seconds to go for the final margin.

Louisville had a last chance to win the game, but Larry O'Bannon lost control of the ball in the final seconds.

The Cardinals fell into a sixth-place tie with St. Louis in the conference.

The Blue Demons, who have won six of seven, ended a nine-game road skid against the Cardinals.
