The only teams to win 10 ACC games in Clemson history were in 1986-87, 1989-90, 2007-08 and 2013-14. • Clemson’s ACC Tournament seeding has yet to be determined, but the Tigers will begin play on Wednesday, March 9. SERIES HISTORY CU Series W-L record: Clemson leads 13-7 Streak: Clemson has won the last three meetings TIGER TRACKS • Clemson enters Saturday’s tilt on a three-game skid, with all three games decided by seven points or less. The Tigers fell 64-57 against No. 4 Virginia last time out. • A win Saturday would be the Tigers’ third in an ACC road game this season, which would be a third straight season with three or more. That has not happened since 2006-07 through 2008-09. • As a team, the Tigers have 219 three-point goals this season, most since the 2008-09 season and eighth-most in Clemson history. • Jaron Blossomgame is coming off his third 30-point game of the season, most by a Tiger since Will Solomon in 2000-01. • Blossomgame’s 31 points against Virginia were the most by any player against the Cavaliers all season. • Landry Nnoko needs one blocked shot to pass Dale Davis for fifth in Clemson’s career record book. The two are tied with 210 apiece. • Gabe DeVoe is coming off a career-high six assists against Virginia.
