It was not a good night for No. 12 Clemson.
The Tigers had their worst night of the year both offensively and defensively Saturday as No. 18 Virginia ran all over them in an 85-50 loss at Littlejohn Coliseum in Clemson. The win for Virginia was its 11th straight over the Tigers.
Clemson led the ACC in scoring defense coming into Saturday’s game, allowing just 57.6 points per game. The most points the Tigers allowed in a game prior to Virginia’s 85 points was 70 against Purdue and NC State.
It did not help that the Cavaliers, who have now won 13 straight ACC games, shot 56 percent from behind the three points (15-for-27) and were 34-for-56 from the field overall or 61 percent.
