The first 20 minutes of tonight's game looked a little rough, but Clemson's massive performance in the second half pushed the Tigers past Florida A&M 86-58.

One of the reasons Clemson has been successful this season is its three-point efficiency. The team doesn't take many threes, but when they do, they're one of the best in the country. Tonight, that wasn't the case in the first half. The Tigers were 2-13 from beyond the arch. Luckily, they still led heading into halftime.

However, Clemson came out of the locker room with new life. The second half started with a 24-7 Clemson run, and the Tigers never looked back. The three-point percentage flipped in favor of Clemson, with it completing 7-12. Chase Hunter and Chauncey Wiggins led the team with two a piece, but three other Tigers knocked down a trey as well.

The Tigers move on to their biggest test yet. The Kentucky Wildcats are coming to Littlejohn Coliseum for the ACC/SEC Challenge.
