The Joel Coliseum visitors’ locker room is accessible via a tunnel directly behind the visiting team’s bench. But that doesn’t help the players who are on the court when the clock expires.

Following Louisville’s 83-69 loss to Duke Louisville guard Skyy Clark who was was 5-10 on field goals, 2-4 on field goals to go along with 5 rebounds, 4 assists, 13 points had this to say!
I think our first half we’d be digging ourselves into a hole and that’s been kind of a common theme throughout the year. We just need to put together two minute halves where we compete and play hard on defense and play together offensively and that’s how will come up with those wins.

Following Louisville’s 83-69 loss to Duke Louisville Head Coach Kenny Payne had this to say!
I thought there were segments of the game where we showed our growth,""We showed at a time that we can play with a team like Duke. But there were a few things that stood out to me, one being in the second half, 16 second-chance points, another being time and score. So, we were having success attacking them, moving the ball and attacking them, putting them on their heels. Then, for some reason, we take a shot out of that norm – not a feel for what is going on, the plays before that. The guy comes off and takes three dribbles and shoots the ball. Time and score is critical, especially with a team that is better than a top 15, more like a top 10 team. Their skill, they are talented and have great players, so in order to beat them, we can't shoot ourselves in the foot."
