Will be interesting to see how the Tigers shoot from the new NCAA 3-point line tonight. They had a head start with last year’s NIT games & the World Games in July but were 6-23 in last week’s exhibition.

There’s your first bucket of the season, a 3-pointer by freshman guard Al-Amir Dawes to put Clemson up 3-0 over Hokies!

Tigers jumped out to a 9-3 lead but are now down 18-15. Tigers have missed a bunch of 3's after the make by Dawes.

Tough opener with a lot of new pieces for the Tigers and completely unknown Tech team.

TIGERS LOSE 67-60.

I'll have post-game interviews posted in a bit.
