Tigers look to complete ACC road trip sweep at Syracuse |
Clemson men's basketball is taking another shot at consecutive ACC wins for the first time this season with a trip to Syracuse's JMA Wireless Dome.
Tipoff in the JMA Wireless Dome is set for 12:01 p.m. on Saturday. Jay Alter and Malcolm Huckaby will call the broadcast for ESPN2. Don Munson, Jim Davis and Ben Milstead will broadcast the game on the Clemson Athletic Network. The Tigers (15-7, 5-6 ACC) are given a 61.8% win projection by ESPN's matchup predictor. Clemson is ranked No. 33 by KenPom's rating overall (No. 18 offense/No. 77 defense) against Syracuse's No. 90 mark (No. 131 offense/No. 54 defense). • Clemson is 8-6 all-time against Syracuse (15-8, 6-6), including 1-5 in games played in Syracuse. Head Coach Brad Brownell is 6-6 against the Orange. • The game will serve as a Joseph Girard III homecoming after spending his first four seasons of his college career playing for the Orange. • Girard is no stranger to the visiting locker room at the JMA Wireless Dome. He's been in it only twice in his lifetime, but as a high school football player. Both times he won a New York State Championship in football, his teams used the visiting locker room. • Girard spent four seasons playing at Syracuse for Head Coach Jim Boeheim before transferring to Clemson prior to the 2023-24 season. Girard played 125 games for Syracuse and made 123 starts – scoring 1,652 points. Clemson stats Pos.
