CLEMSON BASKETBALL HEADLINES

• Clemson will look to move above the .500 mark in the league with a victory over Wake Forest. It would be its eighth consecutive victory over the Demon Deacons.

Tevin Mack turned in a career performance against Syracuse with 32 points and 10 assists. It was his second double-double and a career-best 32 points. The performance came via a career-best 12 made field goals.

Clyde Trapp was the Tigers’ second double-digit scorer against the Orange and he turned in career bests in points (17), rebounds (9) and assists (6).

Alex Hemenway’s performance at Louisville was most notable with a career-high 8 points, including two threes in his first action since Nov. 7.

• Beating Wake Forest gave Clemson at least a break-even record in the season series against all four ACC schools from the Tar Heel state.

• It’s the first time since 1989-90 when Clemson was 1-1 vs. Duke, 1-1 vs. UNC, 1-1 vs. NC State and 3-0 vs. Wake Forest.

• Clemson defeated No. 3/3 Duke on for its first win over an AP top-3 ranked opponent since North Carolina on Feb. 18, 2001.

• With that win over Duke on Jan. 14, Head Coach Brad Brownell passed Cliff Ellis for the all-time wins mark in Clemson basketball history.

• Clemson has been bitten by the injury bug in 2019, having many key players miss time due to injuries, which includes three starting players.

• For much of the season, Clemson has had as few as eight scholarship players active. Clemson has had players miss 52 games this season.

SERIES HISTORY VS. WAKE FOREST

• Clemson trails the all-time series to Wake Forest 64-99.

• However, the Tigers have won seven-straight contests against the Demon Deacons and Head Coach Brad Brownell is 12-1 against Wake Forest in his time at Clemson.

• Clemson topped Wake Forest at home earlier this year, overcoming a double-digit deficit, to prevail 71-68.
