It doesn’t get easier from here for No. 6 seed Clemson, which faces No. 3 seed Baylor in the NCAA Tournament Sunday.
The two teams will meet in the second round of the West Region of the tournament at Memphis’ FedExForum. Tipoff is scheduled for 6:10 p.m. EDT. The game will be broadcast on TNT.
The Tigers (22-11 overall) caught a few stares when they thrashed a streaking New Mexico team, 77-56, in the opening round of the tournament on Friday.
In that game, Chase Hunter had a game-high 21 points on 8-of-16 shooting and PJ Hall added 14 points despite playing only 19 minutes due to foul trouble. Ian Schieffelin added 16 points to go with 12 rebounds to lift Clemson to its first NCAA Tournament win since 2018.
For its part, Baylor (24-10) ran away with its opening-round contest against Colgate, 92-67. The Bears got 23 points from senior Jalen Bridges and 19 from freshman Ja’Kobe Walter.
Series Notes
Friday’s game will mark just the fourth meeting all time between the two programs. Baylor leads the head to head series, 2-1. The schools haven’t met since December 19, 1983, a 102-52 Clemson victory at Littlejohn Coliseum.
