Louisville will be wearing specialty uniforms for Saturday’s game against Clemson that will pay tribute to the Cardinals’ first Final Four squad from 1958-59. The uniforms will have features similar to the ones U of L wore during that season.
This year marks the 60th anniversary of that 1959 Final Four team. The Cardinals that season posted a 19-12 record while facing 10 teams ranked among the nation’s top 20. Louisville won seven of its last eight regular season games before a 77-63 victory over Eastern Kentucky in the first round of the NCAA tournament that sent them to the NCAA Mideast Regional in Evanston, Ill.
