Clemson’s winning ways continue.
The Tigers have won seven of their last eight games, and while several factors contribute to this success, one stands out above the rest.
Chase Hunter isn’t just playing the best basketball of his career. He’s playing like one of the best guards in the country.
Hunter dropped his sixth performance of 20 points or more, continuing to stack consistently great opponents in conference play. He had three performances like that all last season, and two were in the NCAA Tournament.
A significant factor in that was PJ Hall and Joseph Girard drawing much of the offensive attention, but in last March’s tournament run, Hunter was easily Clemson’s best player on the floor as they reached the Elite Eight.
