After rattling off early-season wins in the non-conference over Stetson, American, and North Dakota, the Clemson Tigers will face a step up in competition when they host the Georgetown Hoyas. The Big East program is also 3-0 on the season with wins over Loyola (MD), Maryland, and Delaware State. With this one being at Clemson, it does give the Tigers a slight advantage they need to take care of.
Clemson only has one more game after this before the Maui Invitational begins next Monday against the Ole Miss Rebels. While Monday's home game with The Citadel Bulldogs should be a walk in the park, how the Tigers perform against the Hoyas could tell us a lot about the chances of going on a deep run in the NCAA Tournament. Right now, they are projected to be a No. 11 seed over in Dayton.
Here is what you need to know to be able to bet on Clemson, watch the Tigers, and what all to expect.

Clemson Tigers vs. Georgetown Hoyas game prediction
Not to say that Clemson needs to cover the 4.5-point spread, but the Tigers would be playing with fire if they failed to do so and win anyway. Clemson has gotten great play out of Liutauras Lelevicius over the last few games, so look for that to continue. While Cole Certa has disappointed out on the wing thus far, this is the game where Clemson's stars, Ace Buckner and Dylan Faulkner, will have to shine.
For Clemson to get the win, its three best players, Buckner, Faulkner, and Lelevicius, will all need to be in double figures in the scoring department. Clemson must rebound well and take care of the rock. If not, then the chances of the Tigers suffering their first loss of the season before Maui will be going up significantly. Fortunately for them, the Tigers have been so hard to defend from the start of the year.
Clemson finally covers the point spread in a game this season, albeit against far better competition.
Final score prediction: Clemson 76, Georgetown 70.
