After opening the season in Arlington, Texas, the No. 14 Tigers return home this weekend to host the Clemson Invitational.

However, this isn’t your conventional home weekend series, as the Tigers (2-1) will play four games in three days. All four Clemson games will be streamed via ACCNX.

Weekend Schedule

• Friday 4 pm vs VCU (1-3)
• Saturday noon vs NC A&T (2-0)
• Saturday 4 pm vs VCU
• Sunday 2 pm vs NC A&T
