Notes

• South Carolina holds a 91-80 lead in the series, but the Tigers have held a 38-19 upper hand since the Gamecocks left the Atlantic Coast Conference following the 1971-72 season.

• Since the Gamecocks’ departure from the ACC, Clemson has had three separate winning streaks of at least six games in the series, most recently from 2004-10.

• In its last 13 games against members of the Southeastern Conference the Tigers are 11-2, including 4-1 against South Carolina.

• Head coach Brad Brownell is 6-5 during his Clemson tenure against South Carolina.

• Ian Schieffelin (20pts, 14reb) and Hunter Tyson (19pts, 13reb) both netted double-doubles in the season opener. It was Schieffelin's first of his career and Tyson's second.

• Schieffelin set career highs in points (20) and rebounds (14) and offensive rebounds (9). His nine offensive rebounds were the most since James Mays (10 at Maryland, 1-13-07).

• Chase Hunter tied his career-high with 23 points and set a new career-best with seven assists.

• Hunter Tyson returned for his graduate campaign and will look to become the Tigers' all-time games-played leader in program history. Tyson has played 106 games and needs 29 to become the all-time leader (134; Cliff Hammonds, K.C. Rivers, Trevor Booker and David Potter).

• Tyson averaged a career-best 10.0 points and 5.8 rebounds per game a year ago.

• Brownell is quickly approaching 400 career wins and stands at 386 all-time. He has 83 at UNC Wilmington, 84 at Wright State and 219 at Clemson.
