What to Know

They are headed away from home for the first time to take on the Boise State Broncos at 1:30 p.m. ET at ExtraMile Arena. The Tigers are expected to lose this one by three points, so we’ll see if that gives them a bit of motivation.
Last Tuesday, Clemson earned a 75-62 win over Eastern Kentucky.

Some high-performance offense is likely on the agenda as both are some of the highest scoring teams in the league. Clemson hasn’t had any problem running up the score this season, having averaged 84.7 points per game. However, it’s not like Boise State struggles in that department as they’ve been averaging 86.7. With both teams so easily able to put up points, the only question left is who can run the score up higher.
Clemson strolled past Boise State in their previous meeting back in November of 2023 by a score of 85-68. The rematch might be a little tougher for Clemson since the squad won’t have the home-court advantage this time around. We’ll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
