CHARLOTTE, N.C. - For the first time in program history, the Louisville men's basketball program is heading to the ACC Tournament semifinals, where a matchup against Clemson awaits them.

Previously 0-2 in the quarterfinals of the ACC Tournament, the second-seeded Cardinals earned win No. 1 with a 75-73 takedown of seventh-seeded Stanford. ACC Defensive Player of the Year Chucky Hepburn was the hero on the other end of the court, sinking a game-winning jumper as time expired.

As for the third-seeded Tigers, they had to hold on for dear life in their semifinal matchup as well, but eventually earned a 57-54 win over sixth-seeded SMU. Chase Hunter had a team-high 21 points, while Ian Schieffelin had nine point and 12 rebounds.

This will be the 17th all-time meeting between Louisville and Clemson, with the Cardinals owning a 10-6 advantage. UofL won the regular season matchup between these two teams, claiming a 74-64 decision back on Jan. 7 at the KFC Yum! Center.
