Team Notes

* Clemson made 20 free throws in 27 free throw attempts in tonight’s game, both season-highs against ACC opponents. That is most made free throws against an ACC opponent since January 30, 2011 against Virginia when they also made 20. Ironically, that was Clemson’s Pink Zone game supporting breast cancer awareness as well.

* Clemson recorded the exact same number of field goals (9) in the first half as they did in the second half of today’s game. In fact, they have now scored the exact same number of field goals in both halves of play in three of the last four games and eight times total this season.
