ANALYSIS: A top-25 caliber team, Clemson will almost certainly present a challenging task for any Division I opponent. They are ranked #18 (out of 351) in the most recent Haslametrics ratings and have a record of 25-10. Of the 15 schools in the ACC (average ranking 55.7), they're currently ranked as our #4 team in the conference.
The Clemson defense will be extremely problematic for most opposing offenses. Allowing about 90 points for every 100 possessions vs. AO, the club is ranked sixth overall in defensive efficiency. Clemson does tremendous work shutting down the opposition from the inside. They are ranked fourth in the country in defensive near-proximity percentage, allowing AO to make good on only 49.0% of their attempts from close-up. Clemson is also one of the very best in the land in overall defensive field goal percentage. The team ranks #8 nationally in field goal percentage allowed, as AO only makes good on about 38.9% of their total attempts from the floor. Clemson lastly does a fantastic job to prevent opposing teams from capitalizing on chances from offensive rebounds. The squad allows AO to convert only 5.0% of all second-chance opportunities (ranked 21st in the NCAA).
Clemson plays at about the same level on offense as they do on defense. The team ranks 45th nationally in offensive efficiency, scoring about 111 points every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. Clemson is deadly accurate at the free throw line. Making 77.2% of their attempts from the stripe, they are ranked 24th nationally in free throw percentage. Moreover, they get ample opportunity to beat you from the line, as the ball-club falls in the top-100 in free throw attempt rate with a rating of 28.37 vs. AO. Clemson also has the potential to make you pay if you let them get close to the rim. The team is ranked 36th in the country in near-proximity field goal percentage, making approximately 65.2% of their attempts from up-close vs. AO. The squad likewise lands in the top-50 in overall offensive field goal percentage and makes good on about 47.6% of their total attempts vs. AO.
Clemson has been playing some of its most efficient basketball of the season recently and is presently ranked 20th in positive momentum. Clemson is also one of the most consistent teams in NCAA basketball (currently ranked 22nd in consistency), which makes the outcomes of their upcoming games far easier to predict.
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.
