Louisville headed to first-ever ACC championship after big win over Clemson
- On Friday night, March 14, 2025, at the Spectrum Center in Charlotte, NC, USA, Louisville Cardinals defeated the Clemson Tigers 76-73 in an Atlantic Coast Conference tournament semifinal game.
- Louisville, the second-seeded team with a 27-6 record, needed a defensive play to seal the outcome against third-seeded Clemson, who had a 27-6 record and were led by Chase Hunter.
- Terrence Edwards Jr. And J'Vonne Hadley respectively scored 21 and 20 points for Louisville, while Chase Hunter scored 23 points for Clemson, whose offense was cold-shooting and shot 39.1 percent from the field compared to the Cardinals' 43.6 percent.
- With 54 seconds remaining and Clemson within 75-73 after a late surge, Aboubacar Traore blocked Hunter's potential tying shot, and Hepburn made a free throw for the final score after Hunter misfired on a desperation attempt.
- Louisville is advancing to its first ACC title game where it will meet top-seeded Duke, who has a 30-3 record and defeated North Carolina 74-71 in the first semifinal, with the championship game scheduled for Saturday night.
