The Clemson men’s basketball team suffered a tough loss to the Louisville Cardinals on Saturday night by a score of 73-83. This loss comes just days after a convincing win over the Florida State Seminoles by a whopping 40 points.
Just a few weeks ago, Clemson was in sole possession of the lead in the ACC, but their NCAA tournament hopes are quickly fading away with each loss. Despite giving up only 5 turnovers to Louisville’s 14, Clemson struggled to get anything going on the offensive end.
The Tigers will need to regroup quickly as they prepare to face the Syracuse Orange at home on Wednesday night. Rebounding at home will be critical for Clemson, as they look to turn their season around and finish strong in the ACC.
With time running out in the regular season, Clemson will need to start stringing together some wins if they hope to secure a spot in the NCAA tournament. It won’t be an easy road, but with some hard work and a bit of luck, the Tigers could still salvage their season and make a postseason run.
