QUICK HITS

• Clemson finished the regular season third in the ACC in overall scoring defense (61.7), fourth in blocks per game (4.8) and fifth in field goal percentage defense (.398).

• Jaron Blossomgame and Landry Nnoko are coming off arguably their top offensive performances in an ACC game at Notre Dame. Blossomgame posted 22 points, his ACC high, to go along with 10 rebounds. Nnoko matched his career highs for points (19) and field goals (7) in the loss, while adding a new high with seven offensive rebounds.

• Blossomgame’s 24 double-figure scoring games are the most by a Tiger sophomore since Terrence Oglesby also had 24 in 2008-09.

• In seven games since he made just 1-of-8 field goals the week Clemson played at Miami and Florida State, Nnoko is 25-of-46 from the field (.543).

• Gabe DeVoe has made 10 of his 11 field goals this season in Clemson’s last four games. During the same stretch, he has averaged 12 minutes and 4.1 points per game off the bench.
