A season-high 21 turnovers and some atrocious execution at the end of regulation doomed Louisville in a 74-69 overtime loss at No. 25 Clemson Saturday afternoon.
Three times in the final minute of regulation U of L had the ball with an opportunity to break a 55-55 tie. Those three possessions resulted in two Deng Adel turnovers and a forced shot from Quentin Snider at the horn that barely drew iron. Clemson never trailed in the overtime.
The Cardinals still have not defeated a top 25 team on the road since joining the ACC in 2014-15.
The 29-point loss at Kentucky was demoralizing because it was Kentucky, but this feels like a much bigger deal as far as the rest of the season is concerned.
