OFFICIAL GAME THREAD: CLEMSON at Virginia

CUTrevor 2021-12-22 17:00:48

Brownell has beaten Duke, UNC, FSU and Louisville with some regularity over recent years, but UVA is the one team that's really had his number. The Tigers have lost 11 straight to the Hoos, but this is the most beatable they've been in years and the first time they haven't been ranked in years. We'll see if this young team can get a huge ACC win on the road for a 4th straight win!

Tip is at 7:00 on ACCN, and I'll have live updates right here!
