QUICK FACTS
• Clemson and Virginia Tech square off for the second time this season, and for the 28th time in what has been one of the Tigers’ most closely contested series in history. Virginia Tech holds a 14-13 lead over Clemson and is 8-5 versus the Tigers in Blacksburg.
• Eleven of the 14 games that have been played between Clemson and Virginia Tech since the Hokies entered the ACC in 2004-05 have been decided by five points or less. Clemson defeated Tech earlier this season at home, 77-70.
• Saturday will be Virginia Tech’s Senior Night. Clemson won back-to-back games in Blacksburg in 2006 and 2007 on the Hokies’ Senior Night. In fact, the Tigers have a perfect 6-0 record when facing Virginia Tech on Senior Night (4-0 in Clemson) since the Hokies came into the ACC.
