On a day when the university honored the historic 1974-75 Louisville basketball Final Four squad, the Cardinals jumped all over the Clemson Tigers from tip to buzzer, eventually cruising to an 80-62 win. They got things going early, at one point going on a 20-0 run, jumping out to a 31-9 lead. They would ultimately capitalize off of that run by building a 47-26 halftime cushion. The Tigers would never get closer than 15 the rest of the way.
U of L honored the 1975 team with a halftime ceremony while giving the players some pretty slick throwback uniforms to don.
