Against UVA, despite a narrow defeat of 60-67, Clemson showcased their strategic prowess with an impressive assists turnover ratio of 1.38 and sinking 11 three-pointers—a testament to their offensive capabilities.


The true grit of this team was evident in their victory over Stanford Cardinal where they triumphed in overtime with a score of 65-61. This game highlighted Clemson's balanced approach between offense and defense—securing crucial rebounds both offensively and defensively while maintaining an effective field goal percentage.
