Clemson's comeback attempt falls short at No. 16 Louisville
A few days after falling to Miami on the road thanks to a last-second buzzer-beater, Clemson suffered another gut-wrenching loss at No. 16 Louisville on Saturday at the KFC Yum! Center in Louisville, Ky.
Down by one point with 3.5 seconds remaining following a 3-pointer by Marcquise Reed, Reed came up with a steal on the ensuing inbounds pass, but saw his layup attempt in the paint get blocked by Louisville’s Jordan Nwora.
John Newman gathered the offensive rebound but could not hit another shot from the paint as time expired, and the Cardinals hung on to defeat the Tigers, 56-55.
