OFFICIAL GAME THREAD: CLEMSON at No.12 Duke

CUTrevor 2024-01-27 10:01:02


The Tigers are coming off a big 11-point road win at FSU, which was 2nd in the ACC with 5 straight wins. They'll have to be at their best to pull off another massive road win at Duke today. The Devils lost their last home game to Pitt a week ago, so they will be even more amped up today. Brad Brownell used more zone defense last week at FSU than I've ever seen before, but FSU is a poor 3-point shooting team. It will be interesting to see how much zone he plays today, if any. I think I would start out with it and see how hot or cold Duke is from the arc before switching back to man, which had allowed a ton of points in recent weeks.

Tip is at 4:00 on ESPN, and I'll be at Cameron to bring you live coverage right here!

We’re almost underway here at Cameron! The fans are right on top of me like always. Lol Hemenway may be available finally today because he was not listed as unavailable on our pregame report. Leyte is also suited up with a brace on the shoulder he injured in the first half last week at FSU. Glad Jack Clark is back!






There are 4 fans decked out in Gamecock gear in the front row under the basket. Lol Maybe they got the seats from Alex Murdaugh. Pretty sad that they would waste those great seats that Duke fans could have had just to root against Clemson!
