In their last game against Baylor Bears, Clemson demonstrated a balanced attack and solid defense. They emerged victorious with 72 points against Baylor's 64, showing proficiency from both inside and outside the arc with a field goal percentage of 49 percent and a three-point percentage of 35 percent. Their free-throw accuracy was impressive at 83 percent, which could be crucial in close encounters.


The game before that saw an even more dominant display from Clemson when they took down New Mexico Lobos with a score of 77 to 56. The team's ability to convert opportunities into points was clear as they maintained a field goal percentage of 44 percent while also capitalizing on turnovers, scoring 19 points off them.


Clemson's rebounding has been consistent across games, grabbing around 40 rebounds each time. This tenacity on the boards will be vital against Arizona Wildcats who are known for their aggressive playstyle.


Defensively, Clemson has shown they can disrupt opponents' rhythm by averaging over five steals per game and maintaining solid block numbers. Their assist-to-turnover ratio suggests smart ball movement and careful possession play – factors that could tip the scales in what promises to be an intense matchup.


Fans should expect Clemson to continue leveraging their strong shooting performance while focusing on tightening up any defensive lapses that could give Arizona openings. With both teams looking to assert dominance early on, it will be interesting to see how strategies unfold throughout this highly anticipated contest.


Mark your calendars for March 28th at Crypto.com Arena; tip-off is scheduled for 7:09 PM Pacific Time (PT). The game will be broadcasted live on CBS for those cheering from home or anywhere else across the nation.
