Don't let the box score from Monday fool you.
Yes, the "New Look" Clemson Tigers looked unstoppable in their season opener, steamrolling New Hampshire 88-38 in a game that wasn't even that close. It was the program's largest margin of victory in a season opener since 1983 and the fewest points allowed to open a year since 1946.
The new faces dazzled. Redshirt freshman Ace Buckner exploded for 18 points in his debut. Transfers Jake Wahlin (11 points), Nick Davidson (10 points), and Carter Welling (10 points) all hit double-figures.
But Friday night, the vibes change.
