Clemson returns to the hardwood after its first loss of the season to Boise State. The Tigers didn't have much going for them against the Broncos. Chase Hunter was the main source of offensive production, so when Boise State slowed him down in the second half, the Mountain West team pulled away.
Radford gives the Tigers a chance to bounce back and find ways to score with more than Hunter. Viktor Lakhin and Ian Schieffelin are the obvious choices, with the second and third-highest averages on the team. However, bench players like Jake Heidreder and true freshman Del Jones have the potential to earn more playing time if they can hit their shots.
The Highlanders have a high-scoring offense, averaging about 84 points a game. However, the only high-major team they've faced is another ACC team, Pitt. The Panthers destroyed Radford 96-56. Taking the load off Hunter should be the priority in this game, giving Clemson other options moving forward. Here's how you can watch the game:
