LOUISVILLE, Ky. - After capturing a road win over Virginia for the first time in almost 35 years, the Louisville men's basketball program has another tough task right in front of them, returning home to host Clemson.

It not only snapped a nine-game losing streak to UVA, but secured their first ever win in John Paul Jones Arena, and their first win in Charlottesville since Feb. 17, 1990.
