Clemson Tigers to Battle Davidson Wildcats at Harrah’s Cherokee Center Asheville
As the Clemson Tigers prepare to face off against the Davidson Wildcats, fans are buzzing with anticipation for what promises to be a thrilling encounter at Harrah's Cherokee Center Asheville. The upcoming game, scheduled for November 12th, is set against the backdrop of recent performances that provide a glimpse into what we can expect from both teams.
The Tigers have had an impressive run lately, showcasing their ability to close out tight games and come through under pressure. Their nail-biting victory over UAB Blazers on November 11th was a testament to their resilience. With 77 points scored and a solid defensive performance that included 7 blocks and 4 steals, CLEM demonstrated they could maintain composure even when the stakes are high.
However, it wasn't just their defense that shone; CLEM's offense was firing on all cylinders with a field goal percentage of nearly 50 percent and an impressive showing from beyond the arc at around 32 percent. Their ability to spread the ball around was evident in their win over Winthrop Eagles on November 7th where they racked up an impressive 21 assists.
Despite these strong performances, there is no room for complacency as Davidson presents its own set of challenges. The Wildcats have been known for their disciplined play and could capitalize on any lapse in concentration from CLEM. It will be crucial for Clemson's defense to step up once again and control Davidson's offensive threats.
Looking back at CLEM's loss against Morehead State Eagles earlier this year on March 15th serves as a reminder that even with home-court advantage, victory isn't guaranteed. In that game, despite shooting over 57 percent from two-point range and matching Morehead State in total rebounds with 40 each, turnovers and three-point shooting were areas of concern.
For this upcoming game against Davidson Wildcats, it will be essential for Clemson Tigers to tighten up their three-point defense while also improving upon their own three-point shooting percentage which has fluctuated throughout past games.
The stage is set for what promises to be an enthralling contest between two competitive teams eager to make their mark early in the season. Fans should expect nothing less than full-throttle basketball as both sides vie for supremacy on court.
