Louisville has won three in a row heading into Sunday’s matchup
LOUISVILLE, Ky. — The University of Louisville women's basketball team is back home for the second Sunday in a row as they welcome the Clemson Tigers into town this weekend. The Cardinals and Tigers are set to square off at the KFC Yum! Center on Sunday at 2 p.m. ET. The game was originally scheduled for a 6 p.m. tip but it has been moved to 2 p.m. and it will be streamed on ACCNX.
The Cardinals are coming off a fourth quarter comeback win over Virginia on Thursday, 63-53, from Charlottesville. It is the third-straight game the Cardinals faced a halftime deficit that they overcame for their third win in a row. The Cards trailed at the half by eight but outscored the Cavaliers 37-19 in the second half to clinch their eighth road win of the season.
A big part of the comeback was the play of Chrislyn Carr in the fourth quarter. Heading into the final quarter in Charlottesville, she had just two points and had not made a field goal on the night. In the final frame, she scored 12 of her 14 points and was 3-for-4 from the field, 2-for-2 from three and 4-for-4 from the free throw line. Carr has been tearing it up in her new role coming off the bench as she has averaged 15.0 points, 4.0 assists and 2.0 steals over the last three games. She has also had the highest plus/minus of any Cardinal player in each of the past three games.
The lineup change ahead of the Jan. 29 matchup against Syracuse has paid dividends as the new starting five is 3-0 since the change. Mykasa Robinson has thrived in the starting role and she had a team-high six assists to go with six points, six rebounds, two steals and tied a career high two blocks against Virginia. It was the first time in her career that she has had multiple blocks and steals in the same game. In ACC games this season, Robinson leads the conference with a 3.1 assist to turnover ratio. In the past three games that she has been in the starting lineup, Robinson has averaged 6.0 points, 7.0 rebounds, 7.3 assists and 3.3 steals per game.

The Tigers also have ACC wins over Boston College (67-57), Pitt (72-57), Wake Forest (60-59) and Virginia Tech (64-59). Clemson enters Sunday's matchup ranked fifth in the ACC in three-point percentage defense, limiting opponents to .281 shooting from behind the arc. Louisville is second in the ACC in three-point percentage as they shoot .342 percent from behind the arc. Clemson has a knack for getting in the passing lanes as they are second in the ACC with 10.0 steals per game. The Tigers are led by Amari Robinson who is 10th in the ACC in conference games with 14.1 points per game and fifth with 7.0 rebounds per game.
Series History - This will be the 14th meeting all time between the two schools and the 10th time they are meeting as conference foes. The Cardinals lead the all-time series 10-3 but are 10-0 against Clemson since they joined the ACC in 2014-15. The Cardinals have won 10-straight games against Clemson and are 3-1 all-time in games played in Louisville.
Last Meeting (Feb. 2, 2022) - Hailey Van Lith scored a career-high 34 points, 16 coming in the decisive third quarter, as No. 4 Louisville won 93-71 at Clemson on Thursday night. The Cardinals (20-2, 10-1 Atlantic Coast Conference) reached the 20-victory mark for the 12th straight season. But not without the Tigers throwing a second half scare their way. Louisville had opened a 12-point lead in the second quarter, but Clemson (7-15, 1-10) tied things at 44 on Amari Robinson's three-point play shortly after halftime. That's when Van Lith got the Cardinals going. She broke the tie with a 3-pointer, then followed with a layup. Two minutes later, Van Lith added another 3 for a 10-point edge. She tacked on a three-point play and by the time Van Lith canned her fifth 3-pointer, the Cardinals were rolling, up 70-54 with 34.1 seconds to go in the third period as coach Jeff Walz punched the air in celebration of the made basket. Van Lith finished 13 of 16 shooting overall and 6 of 6 from behind the arc. Van Lith, a sophomore guard from Wenatchee, Wash., surpassed her previous career best of 24, set against Wake Forest in the ACC Tournament last March. Her six 3s matched her career high, accomplished twice last season, including the win over Wake.
