• Clemson won the turnover battle in its most recent game and is now 6-1 on the season when winning the ever-important statistic.
• Jordan Roper led the Tigers in scoring in both wins last week, and as a result was named ACC Co-Player of the Week along with Louisville’s Terry Rozier.
• Roper poured in a career-high 24 points against the Eagles, which included a career-best 6-for-8 clip from three-point distance.
• Rod Hall needs just one assist to gain sole possession of ninth in the Tiger record books for career assists. He and Marc Campbell both have 364.
• In the win at Florida State last season, Jaron Blossomgame nailed a pair of three-pointers in Clemson’s second-half rally. Blossomgame leads the Tigers in scoring this season, and posted 16 second-half points vs. Boston College.
