No. 12 men’s basketball defeated conference opponent Clemson in a solid 92-60 victory. The Cardinals overcame a sluggish start in the first half and made up for Quentin Snider’s absence with five players scoring in double figures.
Louisville’s offense was slow to take off as the Cards lacked Snider’s ability of creating plays. They relied on points in the paint and points off turnovers.
“It’s a different game with Quentin out,” coach Pitino said. “You don’t get as many easy shots and you have to work for it.”
Donovan Mitchell led the Cardinal attack with perfect 8-for-8 shooting and 18 points in the first half.
