Recent Performances


The Clemson Tigers have shown a mixed bag of results in their recent outings. In their last game against Louisville, despite a valiant effort, they faced a tough 78-52 defeat on the road. The statistics reveal some areas of concern, particularly in shooting accuracy with a field goal percentage of 32 percent and three-point shooting at just 20 percent. However, there were positives to take away as well; their free throw accuracy stood at an impressive 76 percent.


In contrast, during their visit to Pittsburgh Panthers, the Tigers managed to put up a more competitive fight but still fell short with a final score of 72-59. Their defensive efforts shone through with an astounding 18 steals and they capitalized on fast break opportunities scoring 17 points. Yet again, shooting was an issue with only a 31 percent success rate from the field.


However, it's not all doom and gloom for the Tigers as evidenced by their performance against SMU Mustangs where they secured a commanding victory with a scoreline of 72-46. Their defense was impenetrable leading to SMU being restricted to just 34 percent shooting from the field while Clemson improved its own field goal percentage to 45 percent.


Looking Ahead


As we turn our attention towards the upcoming clash against Virginia Tech Hokies at Littlejohn Coliseum, it's clear that home advantage could play a significant role for Clemson. Playing in familiar surroundings often boosts players' confidence which could be crucial in addressing their shooting woes.


Moreover, focusing on maintaining strong defensive pressure will be key for Clemson if they wish to disrupt Virginia Tech's rhythm early on. Capitalizing on turnovers and converting them into points will also be vital given how effectively this strategy worked against Pittsburgh Panthers.
