Clemson Tigers Clash with Georgia State Panthers at Littlejohn Coliseum in Women's Basketball Showdown

As the Clemson Tigers prepare to host the Georgia State Panthers at Littlejohn Coliseum, fans are buzzing with anticipation for what promises to be a riveting Women's Basketball game. The upcoming matchup, scheduled for December 16th, is set against a backdrop of recent performances that suggest an intense battle on the court.

The Clemson Tigers have shown flashes of brilliance and areas needing improvement over their past games. On December 1st against Auburn, they scored 53 points but allowed a staggering 83 points against them. This game highlighted defensive vulnerabilities that the Tigers must address if they hope to contain the Panthers' offense. With an assist-turnover ratio of just 0.14 and shooting only 33 percent from the field, it's clear that ball handling and shot selection are critical areas for improvement.


However, not all is grim for Clemson fans. A look back at their November 26th game reveals a dominant performance where they put up an impressive 92 points against Arkansas-Pine Bluff Golden Lions while maintaining a strong defense that limited their opponents to just 66 points. Their field goal percentage was nearly 50 percent and they excelled beyond the arc with a three-point percentage of over half their attempts finding net – showcasing their offensive firepower.


In another notable performance on November 26th versus Tulsa Golden Hurricane, although resulting in a loss with a scoreline of 64-74, Clemson demonstrated resilience by maintaining a free throw accuracy of perfect standing and achieving parity in rebounds with Tulsa.


The key takeaway from these games is inconsistency; when firing on all cylinders, Clemson can be formidable opponents capable of high-scoring games and solid defense as evidenced by their rebounding prowess and ability to convert turnovers into points during better outings.


Georgia State Panthers will undoubtedly come prepared; thus it is imperative for Clemson to harness their strengths: aggressive offense seen in high-scoring quarters and tightening up defensively by reducing personal fouls which plagued them previously.


With home-court advantage at Littlejohn Coliseum – known for its electrifying atmosphere – there’s potential for this advantage to tip scales in favor of CT if they've addressed issues from past performances effectively.


Fans eager to support CT should mark calendars: December 16th at Littlejohn Coliseum will be where this exciting encounter unfolds starting at sharp seven o'clock in the evening local time (Eastern Time). While no broadcast networks have been announced yet, followers should stay tuned for updates on where they can catch live action as these two teams vie for victory on court.
