OFFICIAL BASKETBALL THREAD: NO.19 CLEMSON at Wake

CUTrevor 2023-01-17 15:12:31


The Tigers finally debuted in the rankings at No.19 this week after their historic 7-0 start in ACC play and knocking off No.24 Duke 72-64 on Saturday! The Tigers blew out the Deacs at home about a month ago, but this will be a tough road test because Wake is a good team that plays well at home. Tyree Appleby is the ACC's second-leading scorer at almost 18 points per game. Also, the Tigers have a 2-game lead on the rest of the ACC, so everyone will be gunning for them!

Chase Hunter will miss the game due to a foot injury he suffered in the Duke game, and it's going to be tough for the Tigers to win this game without him. Beadle will likely make his first start at point guard.

Tip is at 9:00 on RSN, and I'll have live updates right here!

Wake makes a pair of free throws and Tyson misses a 3 to end the half. That's the most points the Tigers have given up in a half this season. You'd think their defense might be better with Beadle starting for Hunter. The offense did reasonably well without him with just 2 turnovers, but they've given up way too many points.


TIGERS TRAIL 48-38 AT THE HALF.

TIGERS LOSE 87-77.


They did a better job defensively in the 2nd half and tied Wake since the break. Tigers fall to 7-1 in the ACC but remain in 1st place. Hopefully Hunter will be able to play Saturday against VA Tech at home!

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