As the Clemson Tigers prepare to welcome the Wake Forest Demon Deacons to Littlejohn Coliseum, fans are buzzing with anticipation for what promises to be a thrilling encounter.

In their last game on December 22nd, the Clemson University women's basketball team showcased an impressive offensive display against East Tennessee State Buccaneers, securing a commanding 73-50 victory. The CLEM team's shooting was particularly noteworthy; they hit nearly half of their field goals and were lethal from beyond the arc with a three-point shooting percentage of 48 percent. Their defense was equally formidable, forcing 21 turnovers and converting them into 25 points.


The consistency of CLEM has been evident in previous games as well. On December 19th against Air Force Falcons, despite committing more turnovers than usual (25), they still managed to pull through with a solid win (70-54). Their ability to dominate inside was clear as they racked up an impressive 42 points in the paint.


However, it would be unwise to underestimate Wake Forest. While statistics from their recent games are not available for analysis, history has shown that any team can rise to the occasion on game day.


CLEM fans should look forward to another strong performance from their team. The players' ability to maintain high shooting percentages while effectively utilizing fast breaks will likely be key factors in overcoming Wake Forest's challenge. Additionally, if CLEM can continue its trend of turning defensive plays into scoring opportunities through steals and blocks while keeping personal fouls in check, it could very well dictate the pace of the game.


As we approach game day on January 28th at Littlejohn Coliseum at 6:00 PM local time (EST), excitement builds for what could potentially add another win for Clemson University's record this season. Fans unable or unwilling to brave what promises to be an electric atmosphere in person can catch all the action live as both teams battle it out on court – though broadcast networks have yet not been announced for this matchup.
