Can Clemson Tigers Roar at Georgia Tech's McCamish Pavilion?

As the Clemson Tigers prepare to face the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets at Hank McCamish Pavilion on February 22, fans are eager to see if their team can continue their impressive performance on the road. The Tigers have been showcasing a strong offense in recent games, with a notable victory over Queens University where they scored a staggering 109 points. Their shooting was particularly effective, hitting 63 percent from the field and an exceptional 53 percent from beyond the arc.

The team's ability to convert opportunities into points has been remarkable; they scored 20 points off turnovers against Queens University and maintained an assist-to-turnover ratio of over three. This indicates not only sharpshooting but also smart ball-handling and teamwork.


In their game against Memphis, despite being away, Clemson managed to secure a win with solid two-point shooting (60 percent) and consistent free-throw performance (67 percent). They also demonstrated resilience in defense with four blocks and controlled rebounds on both ends of the court.

However, it wasn't all smooth sailing for Clemson. In Toronto against TCU Horned Frogs, they faced challenges that tested their mettle. The game saw numerous lead changes and ties before Clemson edged out with a narrow victory. Their field goal percentage dropped to 41 percent but was compensated by high free-throw accuracy at 79 percent.


Clemson's recent trend shows strength in converting inside shots and maintaining defensive pressure through blocks and steals while keeping personal fouls relatively low. These trends will be crucial as they visit Atlanta to take on Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets in what promises to be an exciting matchup.
