In terms of midseason surprises, Clemson's 4-1 run to start ACC play is as unpredictable a turn of events as there is.
The Tigers defeated No. 9 Duke on Wednesday night, winning out 68-63 at home and holding the Blue Devils to a season low in the process.
This is a team that was one game over .500 and in the throes of a forgettable season when the calendar turn to 2016 less than two weeks ago. Now Brad Brownell's squad has reeled off consecutive victories against Florida State, Syracuse, Louisville and vaunted Duke.
