Top Performers for Clemson Tigers


Loyal McQueen, a guard for the Clemson Tigers, has been showcasing her skills on the court with remarkable performances in recent games. In her last three appearances, McQueen has been a standout player, particularly shining against SMU Mustangs where she scored 21 points, dished out 8 assists, and grabbed 2 rebounds. Over these games, she averaged 18 points per game, demonstrating not only her scoring ability but also her playmaking skills with an impressive average of 4 assists per game.


Anya Poole, playing forward for the Tigers, has also made significant contributions. Her defensive prowess was on full display against SMU Mustangs with 5 blocks and 9 rebounds. Poole's ability to impact both ends of the floor makes her a critical player for Clemson.


Virginia Tech Hokies' Key Players


Matilda Ekh, a guard-forward for the Virginia Tech Hokies, has been equally impressive. Ekh's performance peaked during their game against California Golden Bears where she scored 19 points and provided 5 assists while maintaining a field goal percentage of 75 percent. Her versatility as both a scorer and facilitator has been vital for the Hokies.


Rose Micheaux stands out as well with an exceptional game against Stanford Cardinal where she tallied 21 points and secured 13 rebounds. Micheaux's presence in the paint and rebounding capability will be crucial in their upcoming clash with Clemson.


Game Predictions


Given the statistics from recent games, Loyal McQueen is expected to have an outsized impact on the upcoming game. Her ability to score efficiently and create opportunities for her teammates sets her apart as a key player for Clemson Tigers. However, Matilda Ekh’s all-around performance could tip the scales in favor of Virginia Tech Hokies if Clemson doesn't strategize effectively to contain her.


The battle between McQueen and Ekh will be one to watch as both players bring their A-game to Littlejohn Coliseum. Fans can expect a thrilling encounter filled with strategic plays and standout performances from these top athletes.
