North Carolina State at Clemson

Both of these teams lost to top-ranked North Carolina but the difference is stark. NC State lost by 31 points while the Tigers took the Tarheels to overtime, losing by just two points. Clemson's only ugly loss was to Charlotte and that can be chalked up to having that game follow the big Tarheels matchup. The Wolfpack had been riding a seven game winning streak prior to their beatdown by NC but that game showed what happens when they face a top-notch team. Clemson has a good defense and a great offense that is scoring 82.7 ppg on the season. The Tigers are too much for NC State tonight.
