Monte Lee’s Tigers picked a bad time to suffer its first losing streak of the season. Sitting just one game back of NC State going into the weekend and with the Pack hosting Louisville, the Tigers were hoping to take advantage of a slumping Florida State team and make up some ground, if the Cardinals could give them some help. Louisville did just that as they swept NCST, and ironically with a little help from Clemson, took over possession of first place in the Atlantic for themselves.
Turns out, a slumping FSU team is not what awaited Clemson this weekend.
