The First MatchupAlthough Georgia Tech is Clemson’s assigned permanent rival, the Tigers are also playing Pittsburgh twice instead of playing Virginia at all. Since Clemson has already played and beat the Panthers in Pittsburgh, we can begin this preview with a look back. On January 3rd, Clemson picked up their second ACC win of the season by beating the Panthers in a snowy Pittsburgh, PA, 73-68. Those are big “ifs,” but KenPom projects a 12-point Clemson win, and I will choose to believe in this team’s maturity. KenPom: Clemson 74, Pittsburgh 62Kantor: Clemson 73, Pittsburgh 66
