PJ Hall is also a threat. McCammish has also been a threat for Georgia Tech. In the last 3 games for the TIgers, Georgia Tech has shot 48.5 percent from behind the arc. In 2022 Georgia Tech was 10 of 25, 2021 16 of 27 and 2020 7 of 16. Talk about home court being very friendly.

The Tigers have been a monster tonight on the defensive end of the floor. Georgia Tech has gone cold the last 2 minutes. The patience of the Clemson offense and making good decisions and not turning the ball over has been the difference. 2;02 remains and Clemson leads GT 36-22

PJ HAll isn't a 100 percent but Georgia Tech has absolutely no answer for him inside. Clemson has been patient on offense and defensively have all but made Georgia Tech shoot from outside. They are not allowing Georgia Tech anything inside the paint. Again it was a frantic pace in the first half. Look for Tech to make adjusrtments and a run, it will happen, the TIgers need to stay with the game plan and the scouting report and continue to let PJ Hall work inside. Again, GT has no answer for PJ Hall!

Neither team is lighting it up from outside. PJ Hall has been the difference. Clemson has him, GT does not. PJ Hall is on the bench at the 15;58 mark in the 2nd half. Can the TIgers manage the next 6 or 7 minutes without HALL? That will be the key to this game if the TIgers expect to start 2-0 in ACC play

PJ Hall with the basket on a nice pass from Hunter Tyson. It seems like every time GT gets a run albeit a small one, Clemson answers. Has to be frustrating for GT, yet for the TIgers to respond shows they are sticking to the game plan.
