• With a 75-67 win over Georgia Tech on Feb. 24, Clemson tied the program record for ACC regular season wins with 10.

• The Tigers have reached 10 league wins in the ACC on six occasions, including this season. Three of those six seasons have come under the direction of head coach Brad Brownell.

• Gabe DeVoe notched his third 25-point outing of the year and his second this season against Georgia Tech.

• With four more 3-pointers against Georgia Tech, Gabe DeVoe remains 11th all-time in the Clemson record book for threes in a career (152). He needs three more to tie for 10th.

• In 2006-07 and 2013-14, three of the Tigers’ record 16 home wins came during postseason play in the NIT - so they achieved 13 in regular season play.

Tigers moved up to #8 RPI today! Again, with the stunning win by Miami at UNC on Senior Night, the Tigers can finish 3rd place in the ACC if they win these last 2 and UNC loses at Duke like I think they will. Amazing!
