Florida State vs. Clemson Prediction
I’m on Clemson here. It’s not what we’ve come to expect from Florida State over the years, but Florida State’s been one of the worst offensive units in the ACC from a shot percentage perspective. Clemson’s rock solid defensively and they’ve been one of the better teams in the conference on the offensive end of the floor. I think the Tigers get the job done here and get a big win in the grand scheme of things from an NCAA tournament perspective.
Chris’s Pick Clemson -9.5
