Clemson avoids back-to-back ACC losses with a 77-57 win over Florida State. It's exactly what the doctor ordered after a crushing loss to Louisville on Tuesday.
One of the biggest takeaways from today's match was Jaedone Zackery getting hot from deep. Entering the game, the Boston College transfer knocked down 29 percent of his shots from the arc, which was disappointing as he hit them at a 40.5 percent clip with the Eagles in the 2023-24 season.
Tonight, he was 3-4 from deep, knocking down two in the opening half. The second of which jumpstarted Clemson's 18-10 run at the end of the half to pull ahead by seven. From there on, Clemson dominated. The Tigers outscored FSU 41-28 in the final 20 minutes.
Chase Hunter was in his bag tonight, too. He had 25 points, with 15 coming in the second half. Zackery was the second-leading scorer with 15 points.
