Next Up - Clemson

Duke opens ACC play at home on Saturday against Brad Brownell’s Clemson squad.

As you may remember, Clemson had perhaps the second most stunning performance in last++ year’s NCAA tournament with a complete destruction of Auburn.

UMBC’s win over Virginia was historic and amazing but please remember that UVA played without De’Andre Hunter. Clemson came at a tough, physical fast breaking Auburn and beat the Tigers at their own game.

It was so good that when the Tigers lost to Kansas next time out it almost didn’t matter. Clemson has a long history of choking in the tournament.
