Louisville Tops Clemson in ACC Showdown

J'Vonne Hadley led the Louisville Cardinals to a 74-64 victory over the Clemson Tigers, scoring a career-high 32 points and securing 10 rebounds. Despite struggles from their main scorers, Louisville managed to outscore Clemson with a significant defensive effort and a strong 14-0 run in the first half. Head coach Pat Kelsey praised Hadley's all-around performance, noting that his scoring was not typically his primary contribution. Clemson's Chase Hunter led his team with 15 points, but they could not maintain their early lead as Louisville's defense tightened in the second half. The Cardinals improved to 4-1 in the ACC with this win, while Pittsburgh remains undefeated at home and looks to continue its strong performance in the upcoming matchup against Louisville. This key victory highlights Louisville's resilience and depth, as they prepare for a challenging stretch in ACC play.
