“Great size, length, athleticism, really come after you … and you’ve got to rebound the fire out of the ball when you play them,” Clemson coach Brad Brownell said of FSU. “They pressure pretty much most games and they get after you both at the half and full court. It’s a difficult team to run your normal offense against because they don’t allow you to make as many passes, so you’ve got to make some adjustments.”

Here are the full details for the matchup:

Who: No. 18 Clemson (21-7, 10-6 ACC) vs. FSU (19-9, 8-8)

Where: Littlejohn Coliseum, Clemson, SC
