SERIES HISTORY TIGER TRACKS • Clemson clinched its first top-four seeding at the ACC Tournament since 2011 when head coach Brad Brownell was in his first season at Clemson. • The Tigers were predicted to finish 13th in the ACC according to the media during the preseason and proceeded to finish tied for 3rd. The jump of 10 places from preseason to postseason is the largest in ACC history since the preseason poll was inaugurated in 1970. • A trio of Tigers earned All-ACC recognition: Marcquise Reed (second team), Gabe DeVoe (honorable mention) and Elijah Thomas (all-defensive team). • Marcquise Reed tallied his 11th 20-point outing of the season with 21 points in the regular season finale at Syracuse. • Gabe DeVoe remains 11th all-time in the Clemson record book for threes in a career (154). He needs just one more to tie for 10th. • The Tigers’ win over Florida State marked a new program record for ACC wins during the regular season with 11. The 11 wins ties for the most all-time in any conference for Clemson. (Posted 11 wins in the Southern Conference in 1951-52). |

We'll see if fatigue sets in for BC in the second half today, playing in their 3rd game in 3 days. They are not a deep team, either, playing about 8 guys for the most part. Shooting guard Jerome Robinson led the ACC in scoring and hung about 30 on the Tigers in their one meeting. He could not miss that night. Point guard Bowman had a big game yesterday, and Chapman is a sharp shooter from 3. Their big man, Popovich, has also had a good tournament. Tigers control the tip, but BC jumps out to a 5-0 lead. They started hot in their two tourney wins against Tech and State as well. |

Tigers salt the game away at the free throw line and win by 8! They were 20-22 at the line for the game! DeVoe tied his career high with 25 points. 4th time in his career with that mark, 3rd time this season. Tigers are now 3-0 all-time versus BC in the ACC Tourney, and Brownell is 9-3 against the Eagles, winning 7 straight. Tigers will play #1 UVA tomorrow night at 7:00. I'm on my way to Brooklyn! TIGERS WIN 90-82  |
