Clemson Falls to Louisville, 74-64

Clemson suffered its first ACC loss of the season, falling to Louisville 74-64, marking their ninth consecutive defeat at the KFC Yum Center. The Tigers briefly narrowed the gap to two points in the second half, but a 16-4 run by Louisville secured their lead, highlighted by J'Vonne Hadley's stellar performance, where he scored 32 points and grabbed 10 rebounds. Clemson struggled offensively, shooting under 40% from the field and failing to capitalize on opportunities, particularly at the free-throw line where they managed just four attempts compared to Louisville's 20. Despite Chase Hunter leading the Tigers with 15 points, both he and Ian Schieffelin faced challenges in maintaining their scoring momentum late in the game. This defeat ended Clemson's four-game winning streak in the ACC, dropping their record to 12-4 overall and 4-1 in the conference. The Tigers will look to rebound at home against Florida State this Saturday.
