OFFICIAL ACC TOURNAMENT THREAD: NO.10 CLEMSON vs. No.13 Louisville

CUTrevor 2025-03-14 17:54:29


The Tigers suffered their only ACC road loss at Louisville early in the season. That loss also cost the Tigers their second-ever ACC regular season title! They look for revenge in the ACC Semifinal tonight at 9:30 on ESPN!

Viktor will have to stay on the court for the Tigers to win. He played just 18 minutes last night due to foul trouble. Same thing happened in their loss at Louisville. Dillon Hunter will be unavailable due to a possible broken hand.

Winner gets either Duke (with Flagg out) or UNC in the Championship. The Tigers, of course, beat them back-to-back a few weeks ago! I'll have live updates right here!

Wow, what a crazy first semifinal between Duke and UNC! Without Flagg, the Devils blow a 24-point lead and almost lose, but they survive.

Chase gets a steal and fast break dunk to start the game! He was the hero last night with 21 points.

Another bad offensive half for the Tigers. They are just 1-6 from the arc and 40 percent from the field. Only 4 points for Chase.

Ugh Chase takes an off balance shot to tie and misses. Incredible comeback foiled by the refs! 


TIGERS LOSE 76-73.


Ted Valentine is the Ron Cherry of basketball. He stole the game from the Tigers at Cameron last year with a BS last-second foul call, and tonight he steals the game with a BS no-call.

This should have been the year that the Tigers finally won an ACC Tournament, but hopefully they can bounce back like they did last year with another great NCAA run. They were one and done in the ACC Tournament last year and made it to the Elite 8 for the second time ever.
