After its 77-63 win over Georgia Tech on Saturday, the Clemson basketball team has now won 12 straight road games, tying the Tigers for fourth all-time in ACC history.
The win moves Brad Brownell’s team to 17-4 overall and 7-1 in league play, just one game back of Duke in the loss column of the ACC standings.
The win also has Clemson currently sitting at No. 31 in the NET Rankings. The Tigers were as high as No. 25 before the home loss to NC State on Tuesday.
With the victory over the Yellow Jackets, who are No. 145 in the NET, the Tigers move to 4-0 against Quad 3 teams.
