The Clemson Tigers face the #7 Duke Blue Devils after PJ Hall scored 24 points in Clemson’s 79-77 loss to the North Carolina Tar Heels. The Tigers are 8-3 in home games. The Blue Devils have gone 9-3 against ACC opponents. Duke scores 80.2 points and has outscored opponents by 15.2 points per game. These teams play for the 2nd time in conference play this season with the Blue Devils winning the first matchup 71-69 on Jan. 26. Duke is coming off a disappointing loss to Virginia on their home floor with a 3 pointer in the final seconds. This is the kind of loss that will have a team ready to bounce back especially against a team they barely beat on their home floor. Clemson will be without big man H. Tyson and his 10 points and 5.6 rebounds per game. Duke has bounced back from the last 2 losses with 20+ point wins and we should see the same type of performance in this matchup. Look for Duke to cover this spread to bounce back with a big road win against a tough Clemson squad.
