Clemson at NC State Prediction 1/11/2018

In the earlier match-up both teams took awhile to hit their stride scoring a combined 57 points in the first half. The polar opposite happened in the second half when 83 points were scored. At home NC State has averaged 91.5 points on 50.6% shooting and admittedly that is skewed by the quality of opponents. They did however put up 96 on Duke and we probably only need them in the low 70’s to get over the number tonight. Clemson doesn’t always light it up averaging 77.9 points per game this season, but in their defense, they have played some solid defenses and NC State’s D is not in that category.
