No. 21 Tigers look to stop skid at Virginia Tech |
No. 21-ranked Clemson men's basketball hits the road again in seeking to stop a two-game skid.
The Tigers (11-3, 1-2 ACC) take on Virginia Tech (9-5, 1-2) Wednesday at Cassell Coliseum in Blacksburg, Virginia. The ESPN2 broadcast start is set for 7 p.m. (Kevin Brown, PxP; Debbie Antonelli, Analyst). Clemson was projected as a 4-seed in the NCAA Tournament by ESPN on Tuesday after last week's losses at Miami (95-82) and at home with No. 8 UNC (65-55). The Tigers are No. 23 in the NCAA's NET ranking resume tool, with a 3-3 record with Quadrant 1 teams and two Q2 wins as well. Clemson is No. 24 in the KenPom predictive metric, while Virginia Tech is No. 68. ESPN's matchup predictor favors the Hokies slightly, however, with a 53.1% win projection. • Clemson will face Virginia Tech for the 43rd time in program history. Clemson swept both meetings last season. • The Tigers are 19-23 all-time against the Hokies, but 3-1 in the last four meetings. • Three Quad 1 wins are tied for fourth-most in the country. • Clemson is No. 7 in RPI and has the No. 4 strength of schedule in the country.
