The two days prior to its game with Louisville last Wednesday, Clemson used the time to work on itself a little, especially on defense where the Tigers were failing to get back on defense at times and were having issues with their second and third lines of defense.
By just working on the basic fundamentals, they got better, evident in their 54-50 win over the Cardinals, a game in which they held Louisville to a season-low 32-percent shooting.
The win snapped a three-game losing streak and all seemed right in the world until the Tigers got to Durham, N.
