Hokie Hoops Central: Virginia Tech (13-17) at #11 Clemson (25-5) 6pm ESPNU

Hokies go to South Carina to take on the most punchable coavhing face in the ACC, Brad Brownell.

Brownell has the Tigers tracking for a 3 seed in the NCAA Tournament. Clemson is led by someone that has been there as long as R.J. Davis has been at UNC. 6th year Senior Chase Hunter is putting up 16.4 ppg as one of four seniors putting up double-digit averages. Chauncey Wiggins, 6'10 Forward is the only Junior in the starting lineup. The Tigers typically only go 8 deep.

Clemson simply shoots better than it's opponents. They average over 52% inside the perimeter and 39% outside. They are also shooting 77% from the line. Their average margin of victory is almost 11 points per game.

Their last loss was over a month ago in 3OT to Georgia Tech. The only other ACC loss was in early January to Louisville. They beat the Hokies in January by 15. Hard to see the Hokies getting a win on the road here but you just never know with this team.

LETS FUCKING GO! WHY NOT BEAT THESE CHUMPS!

My wife takes the kids and leaves the house while I watch my Hokie games.........nuff said

I guess the refs have an early dinner reservation. Letting a lot of contact go. No fouls called yet over 4 minutes into the game.

Anyone else think the mic of the crowd/arena is overly loud?

No one, and I mean no one, turns it over like the Virginia Tech Hokies.

Fire Whit.

Yep nine so far. Almost 1 a minute

Need more of that from Lawal consistently but also need him to make free throws

Down 15 with Clemson getting 14 off TO's. I'm not a smart man but I think that's a difference maker right there.

Should have been a technical for him taking Hammond down since Hammond would have been unimpeded to the basket

I would have been impressed.

We put the K in Kwality

Autocorrect sucks. AI language suggestion is terrible

I giggled. At least something fun happened during this game.

Every swing call going one way tonight. Clemson doesn't need the help but getting it at every turn

Time to start earning our fouls. Every one should put a Tiger on the floor.

Props to Burnham. He is hustling his ass off.

Life is good.

20+ turnovers and Clemson only called for 3 fouls in 16 minutes...no chance for comeback
