Chase Hunter has found his groove

I stated my opinion on Clemson Men’s Basketball weeks ago: this team goes as Joe Girard goes. When he is hot, the Tigers win. When he is off, they fall short. That has proven mostly true, but as the season progresses, Chase Hunter has become an X-factor for Clemson.

He seemed to struggle to find his role earlier in the year when Girard became part of the equation, but lately, he has found his zone. Here are just a couple of samples from the game on Saturday:

This bodes well for the Tigers as they approach the postseason. They appear to be peaking at the right time, and it coincides with Hunter peaking.
