SPORT UPDATESMen’s Basketball (@ClemsonMBB)Record: 13-8, 5-4 ACCThe Tigers earned a pair of wins last week, 68-57 over NC State in Raleigh on Wednesday and 64-49 over Boston College at home on Saturday. Jordan Roper led the Tigers in scoring in both games, including a career-high 24 against the Eagles. The win in Raleigh was Clemson’s first since 2010, and the Tigers’ second ACC road win this season. Clemson plays two road games this week, first at Florida State on Wednesday and then at Miami on Sunday. The game with the Seminoles is set for 9 p.m., and the contest with the Hurricanes is a 6:30 p.m. tipoff.

The Tigers climbed out of double-digit deficits in both contests, including a 19-point one against Virginia, before ultimately falling. Nikki Dixon moved into eighth in school history in scoring with 1,491 points. Clemson plays at Boston College on Thursday and at Duke on Sunday.
Diving (@ClemsonDiving)Record: 4-2The Clemson diving team was in action at two meets over the weekend – the Shamrock Invitational in Notre Dame, Ind. and at James Madison in Harrisonburg, Va. At Notre Dame, junior Megan Helwagen led the Tigers in both events, placing sixth in the three-meter and seventh in the one-meter. Helwagen, along with sophomore Sarah Braun and freshman Hannah Donovan recorded NCAA Zone qualifying scores in the three-meter. Against JMU, the Tigers fell 27-11 in the dual meet, but saw freshman Allison Brophy post her first career NCAA Zone qualifying mark in the one-meter with a score of 266.45, also a career high for the rookie, and good enough for a third-place finish at the meet. Sophomore Danielle Reitsma led Clemson in the three-meter, finishing second with 261.50 points. The Tigers host their only home meet of the season this Saturday, Feb. 7 when they host College of Charleston and Davidson. The meet begins at 11 a.m. at McHugh Natatorium in Fike Recreation Center.
