Clemson at Louisville

The Louisville Cardinals have suffered just one defeat on the season, and it came against #1 Kentucky. This is a National Championship caliber team with a lot of answers, and the signature 40 minutes of pressure defense that often breaks the will of opponents. The Cardinals have already held nine opponents to the 50s or less on the season. Clemson is 8-5 on the season, does not shoot free throws well, and has little or no depth, which is crucial in hanging with the Cards who simply wear teams out with pressure. No Tigers' player averages as much as 4 points per game after the top five, and that will be their demise. Louisville will likely keep this team to close to 50, and generate a lot of easy hoops with their defense as their top five scorers on Clemson have turned the ball over a combined 124 times already. Lay the points on Louisville.
