The Clemson men’s basketball team did something on Saturday that had not been done by a Tigers team since the 1979-’80 season.
Clemson beat No. 5 Louisville 77-62 at Littlejohn Coliseum. It marked the Tigers’ second win over a top 5 team this season, including a seven-point win over Duke on Jan. 14, which was also at Littlejohn.
The last time Clemson (13-12, 7-8 ACC) beat at least two top 5 teams in the same season was the 1979-’80 season, when the Tigers beat three top five teams in the UPI Coaches Poll.
