QUICK HITS

• Clemson has already bagged a win over an SEC team this season, a 64-61 thriller in the final round of the Paradise Jam on Nov. 24.

• The four SEC games are the most on Clemson’s schedule since 2007-08.

• The Tigers have had five of seven games decided by five points or less. The next closest in the ACC is two, for several teams. Four conference teams have yet to have a game decided by five or less.

• Seven players return from Clemson’s 2013-14 team that played in the game at Arkansas, led by Damarcus Harrison (13) and Rod Hall (10) who both scored double figures in the 74-68 loss.

• Harrison leads the Tigers in scoring with a career-best 11.9 points per game figure; he is also Clemson’s top percentage (.800) free-throw shooter.

• Jaron Blossomgame has produced three consecutive double-doubles, the first Tiger to achieve that since Trevor Booker in 2008-09.

• Landry Nnoko needs just four blocked shots to reach 100 for his career; Nnoko ranks third in the ACC in blocks per game (2.6).
