CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Louisville basketball is in uncharted territory: the semifinal round of the ACC Tournament.
If Pat Kelsey's No. 2-seeded Cardinals take down No. 3 Clemson in a Quad 1 game today at the Spectrum Center, they'll compete for their first conference tournament championship since joining the league in 2014 on Saturday, against either No. 1 Duke or its archival, No. 5 North Carolina.
Tipoff is set for approximately 9:30 p.m. This is U of L's first matchup against a ranked opponent since losing to Kentucky on Dec. 14 at Rupp Arena. The Tigers sit three spots ahead of the No. 13 Cards in both the AP Top 25 and the USA TODAY Sports Men’s Basketball Coaches Poll.
Louisville reached the semifinals thanks to its largest comeback of the season, erasing a 15-point deficit against No. 7 Stanford with 14:32 to play in regulation, and Chucky Hepburn's buzzer-beating jumper from the left elbow. The 75-73 win Thursday put Kelsey in a tie with Hall of Famer Denny Crum for the most victories by a first-year coach at the helm of the Cards.
Clemson got to the semifinals by eking out a 57-54 win over No. 6 SMU in the final game of the Day 3 slate. The last time U of L faced the Tigers, it got a career-high 32 points from J'Vonne Hadley en route to a 74-64 victory on Jan. 7 at the KFC Yum! Center.
Follow along with live updates from the Spectrum Center below:
The game between the Cards and the Tigers will air on ESPN, which is channel 602 on AT&T U-Verse; channel 206 on DirecTV; channel 140 on Dish; and channel 506 on Spectrum.

Paul Rogers (play-by-play) and Jody Demling (analyst) will have the call today on the Cardinal Sports Network (WLCL 93.9-FM and WGTK 970-AM in Louisville).
You can also listen online via GoCards.com.
Betting odds: Louisville is a 1-point favorite (-112) on DraftKings, which set the over/under at 140 ½ points (-110). The money line odds are U of L -120, Clemson +100.
Score predictions: KenPom.com gives the Cards a 46% chance of winning and projects a 71-70 final score in Clemson's favor. BartTorvik.com is also forecasting a Tigers victory (51%), with a projected final score of 71-70.
