Louisville put an appropriate cap on one of the strangest weeks in the history of Cardinal basketball with a 56-55 home win over Clemson that left the Yum Center crowd unsure of how to react.
Playing just four days after blowing a 23-point second half lead against Duke, U of L again faltered mightily down the stretch and left the door open for what would have been a soul-crushing defeat. The Cardinals led 55-47 with under 30 seconds to play before a slew of turnovers and made desperation shots from the Tigers pushed the home team to the brink of disaster once again.
