CLEMSON BASKETBALL HEADLINES

• South Carolina holds a 90-79 lead in the series, but Clemson has held a 37-18 upperhand 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 nine games against members of the Southeastern Conference the Tigers are 8-1, including 3-0 against South Carolina.

• Tevin Mack led the Tigers in scoring for the third time this season with his eighth double-digit scoring game of 2019-20. Mack scored 11-straight points in the second half against the Seminoles. The 11 points were a new season-high for Mack who previously had scored nine in a row.

• Jonathan Baehre made his Clemson debut against Florida State. Baehre transferred to Clemson from UNC Asheville during the 2018 offseason and sat out the 2018-19 season due to transfer rules.
