In Clemson’s game against Boston College, the Tigers held BC scoreless from beyond the three-point line.

Against Georgia Tech, Robinson notched a double-double at Georgia Tech (19 points, 10 rebounds) and followed that up by scoring a career-high 37 points on 14-19 shooting in just 27 minutes.

With seven assists in Clemson’s game against Louisville, Harris, a four-year starter at Pitt, set a new career high for most assists in a season. Harris has scored a season-high 25 points in Clemson’s games against No. 13 Louisville and No. 14 Virginia Tech, all while shooting 50% from the floor and averaging 3.5 rebounds, 3.5 steals, and 7.5 assists over that same stretch.
