OFFICIAL BASKETBALL THREAD: CLEMSON at No.12 Virginia

CUTrevor 2023-02-28 14:12:31


The Tigers are tied for 2nd in the ACC standings after an incredible performance at NC State (projected as an 8 seed by ESPN), leading by as many as 30 in the second half! In my opinion, that win gets the Tigers into the NCAA, assuming they take care of business at home against Notre Dame on Saturday to finish the regular season. An upset of No.12 UVA would be a nice bonus and improve their seeding, as well as give the Tigers a chance to finish 1st in the ACC, but as long as they beat Notre Dame on Saturday, they will be a top-4 seed in the ACC Tournament with a double-bye.

That being said, UVA is coming off a surprise loss at BC, so they will be playing with a chip on their shoulder, and JPJ is always a tough place to play!\

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

TIGERS TRAIL 28-23 AT THE HALF.



Tigers did a good job defensively but haven't been able to find any rhythm offensively. Chase was able to get to the rim a couple times but had the ball stripped. They need to space things out and let Hall go to work in the low post. He should either be able to score on Vander Plas or kick it out for an open 3. Hall will have to be careful not to pick up a 3rd foul early in the 2nd half.

TIGERS LOSE 64-57.



Good effort by the Tigers in a tough place to play, especially with the Hoos coming off a loss and needing a win to stay in contention for 1st place. As long as the Tigers take care of Notre Dame at home on Saturday, they should be in the NCAA.

I'll have Brownell's post-game interview shortly.
