The Clemson Tigers have been on an upward trajectory with their recent games indicating a strong offensive and defensive presence. In their last three matches, they have consistently outscored their opponents, with points tallies of 73 against East Tennessee State Buccaneers, 70 versus Air Force Falcons, and a close 72 against Georgia State Panthers. Their scoring has been well-distributed across all four quarters showing no significant drop in performance as the game progresses.


Defensively, the Tigers have demonstrated prowess by maintaining a steady number of steals per game averaging around double digits which has contributed significantly to points off turnovers. This aspect of their gameplay will be crucial when facing the Hokies who will look to capitalize on any lapse in concentration.


On offense, Clemson has shown efficiency from both inside and outside the paint with field goal percentages hovering around fifty percent. Their ability to convert from beyond the arc could prove decisive especially when playing away from home where making every opportunity count is essential.


Rebounding has also been an area where Clemson has excelled; they've managed to out-rebound their opponents in recent games which could play into limiting second-chance points for Virginia Tech. However, turnovers are one area that needs tightening up as high turnover rates could give Virginia Tech more opportunities to score.


Playing at Cassell Coliseum may present its challenges due to unfamiliarity with the venue and crowd support heavily favoring Virginia Tech. Nonetheless, if Clemson continues its current form and manages ball possession wisely while executing defensively as they have done recently, they stand a good chance of coming out on top.


Fans can catch this exciting matchup live on January 21st at 5 PM Eastern Time at Cassell Coliseum in Blacksburg or follow along through various broadcast networks available for this event.
