The last time Duke and Clemson met, the Blue Devils were nearly upset but narrowly picked up a 64-62 victory. Though that contest was close, Duke extended its historical dominance of Clemson in that outing, as the Blue Devils have gone 27-3 SU in the past 30 meetings between the two squads.
- Duke is 0-4-1 ATS in its last 5 games.
- Clemson is 7-3 ATS in its last 10 games after a win.
- The total has gone OVER in 14 of Duke's last 20 games against the ACC.
Clemson had little difficulty with NC State in the first round, as the Tigers easily walked away with a 75-61 victory that was never really in doubt. Jaron Blossomgame had a huge day with the senior tallying 22 points while shooting nearly 53 percent. Clemson backers will be hoping that Blossomgame’s performance on Tuesday means he will keep rolling, as he had just seven points while shooting 3-for-12 in the regular season against Duke.
Duke has slumped closing out the regular season, going just 1-3 in the past four while averaging just 70.8 points. The lack of scoring depth has been a major concern, as Luke Kennard and Jayson Tatum have accounted for 50 percent of Duke’s points during the past five games. If the Tigers dominate in the paint like they did in Round 1 against NC State, the Blue Devils may be in trouble as their frontcourt has not meshed well at all.
