ANALYSIS: Clemson is a fairly decent basketball team that, while likely better than average, isn't quite good enough to crack any top-25 rankings this year. They have a record of 16-15 and are ranked 93rd overall (out of 351) in the latest Haslametrics ratings. They are also ranked by this site as the #12 team (out of 15) in the ACC (average ranking 59.1).
Clemson will mainly try to find success through their defense. They are ranked 59th in defensive efficiency and allow fewer than 95 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. Clemson will take a bite out of many opponents' shooting percentages, based on the fact that the team ranks in the top-50 in three of our four primary defensive field goal categories. They're most likely to shut you down inside the three-point arc, considering the team limits AO to converting just 30.0% of their mid-range jumpers (seventh in the nation), 53.5% of their near-proximity chances (38th), and 39.1% of their total shots from the field (28th). Clemson also makes a point to avoid fouls and prevent opponents from getting to the free throw line. With a defensive free throw attempt rate of 25.81 vs. AO, they are currently rated 69th in the country in that category.
Clemson is also a fairly decent team on the offensive end of the court. The team ranks 150th nationally in offensive efficiency, scoring about 101 points every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. Clemson is one of the better teams in the country when it comes to converting scoring chances off of offensive rebounds. Against AO, the team successfully converts 8.5% of all second-chance opportunities (ranked 27th nationally), and with a rating of 18.18, they're 35th in potential points scored off of the offensive glass as well. Clemson also favors the mid-range jumper over any of the others. The club is ranked 32nd in ratio of mid-range attempts to total field goal attempts. If you do allow them to take that in-between shot, they can certainly make it, too. Currently rated in the top-100 in mid-range shooting percentage, they make roughly 37.1% of their attempts from that distance vs. AO.
Projections are based on present-day ratings. Stars indicate games played at a neutral location. Game efficiencies only account for data before a contest has gone analytically final and are adjusted to extract home-court advantage.
