OFFICIAL BASKETBALL THREAD: CLEMSON vs. No.24 Duke

CUTrevor 2023-01-14 12:53:39


The Tigers are 6-0 for the first time ever in 70 years of ACC basketball, and they have won 10 straight regular season ACC games for the first time ever! They didn't play their best on Wednesday but still beat Louisville 83-70 with Hall in foul trouble most of the game.

Littlejohn should be rocking today with No.24 Duke in town! It will be the first meeting since Coach K's retirement. Duke just beat Pitt at home the other night after trailing much of the game. Perhaps Duke's best player, Jeremy Roach, has been out with an injury and will probably not play today. The Tigers' best 3-point shooter, Alex Hemenway, has missed the last 5 games with an injured heel and will be out again.

Tip is at 5:00 on ACCN, and I'll have live coverage right here!

Littlejohn is alive and electric for this afternoon showdown between Clemson and Duke. This will be the only regular season meeting between the two teams. Clemson sits all alone in 1st place at 6-0 in the ACC. Duke is 4-2 in conference play.  


Duke is averaging 72.7 points per game
Clemson is averaging 75.8 points per game

Duke could be without Jeremy Roach (Remains To Be Seen)and things will also look different for Duke as Jon Scheyer is now the head coach. Clemson will be looking to go 7-0 in ACC play for the first time in school history.

Clemson will look to PJ Hall who has struggled the last 2 games and Hunter Tyson, who just recorded his 9th double double of the season.

Duke will look to Flipowski inside and his presence on the defensive side of the ball at the rim, Clemson will have to take advantage of 2nd opportunities. 

Its Clemson and Duke coming up. If you don't have the ACC Network, follow us here live for updates

There really isn't much to say. Both teams have struggled on both ends of the court. Hunter Tyson who has been phenomenal the last month has disappeared. The Tigers have been a 2nd half team and will need Hunter Tyson to find his shot if they expect to move to 7-o in ACC play

Fans letting the refs have it after a terrible foul call gave Duke 2 points to end the half. Hall has been incredible with 18 points, but leading scorer Hunter Tyson, who scored 28 on Wednesday, has yet to score.


TIGERS TRAIL 34-30 AT THE HALF.

Filipowski just picked up his 3rd foul and instead of taking advantage of it, the Tigers turnedit right back over. 7 turnovers for the TIgers. Hunter Tyson with his first basket on the night. Remember in my opening comments I said the Tigers had to take advantage of 2nd chances and the Tigers have done the exact opposite. hunter Tyson has found his way into the game.

Hall with 20 points. Tigers with another turnover.Proctor has 11. Duke leads 42-36 at the 15 minute mark 2nd half. Turnovers, and not being patient with the ball has hurt the TIgers big time.

Duke lead is now at 8. This is the 2nd time Duke has lead by 8 in the game. At some point, the Tigers must figure out a way to control the  defensive side of the court. Tigers within 4. Middlebrooks draws the foul. Duke cant handle Clemson inside. 13;09 to play, Tigers within 2.

Beadle with the left handed kiss off the glass and we are tied. 8-0 run by the Tigers. This is the 2nd time as stated above, that Duke had an 8 point lead and the TIgers answered. The Tigers have done it all on the inside.

That was a great overturn on the call there. Makes you wonder if Coach K would have been on the sideline if the call would have stood. Tigers lead 47-46. 11;28 to play

2nd chance points in favor of Duke at 12-8. Tyson still continues to be cold from outside and beyond the arc. Galloway using the glass. Tigers defensively crashing the boards. PJ Hall with 22, Tigers trail by 1. Proctor with the basket. It seems like every time the Tigers cut into the lead or take the lead, Duke manages to figure out a way to escape.

Great hustle and battle on the glass. Giving Clemson a rare 2nd chance and Clemson capitalized. One referee looked like he was going to call a charge and the other referee who called the block, was quick to jump and make the call. Questionable for sure.Galloway on the drive, basket good. Tigers showed patience in that sequence. Tigers lead is 6 with 1'57 to play.


Galloway 17 total points 12 in the 2nd half
