Can Clemson Tigers Claw Back to Victory at JMA Wireless Dome?

Recent performances have shown that while Clemson has had its ups and downs, there's potential for a turnaround. In their last game against Georgia Tech's Yellow Jackets, they put up a respectable 62 points but fell short by eight points in a high-scoring affair. Despite this loss, there were positive takeaways: they shot with an impressive 53 percent accuracy from two-point range and maintained a perfect free-throw record.


However, turnovers have been an Achilles' heel for Clemson; they gave up possession 15 times in Atlanta which translated into 19 points for Georgia Tech. Improving ball security will be crucial when facing Syracuse's defense.


Looking back further reveals another close contest where Clemson scored 72 points against Florida State Seminoles but again faced defeat. Their two-point shooting remained consistent at over fifty percent and free throws were once again flawless – signs of reliable scoring under pressure.


The game before that saw them score more freely with 76 points on the board against North Carolina Tar Heels. Although it wasn't enough to secure victory as they conceded 82 points, their ability to rack up second-chance points (16) showed tenacity in offensive rebounds.


Clemson fans can anticipate an intense battle at JMA Wireless Dome where their team must tighten defense and maintain offensive efficiency demonstrated in past games. With improved ball handling and sustained shooting prowess from inside the arc, there’s hope for success away from home soil.


The action unfolds live on January 14th at 7 PM Eastern Time on ACC Network Extra – don't miss it!
