Individual Notes * Demontez Stitt produced a career-high with 24 points in the loss to Old Dominion. His previous career-high was 21, which he scored against Wake Forest in 2008-09 and in the NCAA Tournament game versus Missouri last March. * Stitt hit 9-of-13 shots and 5-of-7 from the free throw line for his career-best point total. * Stitt scored 18 in the second half of Sunday’s game alone and was the only Tiger to reach double figures in the game with the Monarchs. * Stitt now needs just 45 points to reach 1,000 for his career. When he does that, he will be the 34th player in Clemson history to score at least 1,000 points. * Tanner Smith drew three charges on Old Dominion, just one shy of a single-game school record. Three different players share the record with four. * Through two games at the Paradise Jam, Smith has taken five charges to give him a team-high total of six so far this season. * Andre Young hit a pair of late three-point goals to give him an even 100 for his career, making him the 16th player in school history to reach the century mark. * Young has now hit 10 out of 18 three-point attempts on the season
