The Clemson Tigers will look to build on their 67-59 win over Cal in their last game. Chase Hunter leads the Tigers in scoring and assists with 16.6 PPG and 5.3 APG while Brevin Galloway has 11.1 PPG with 2.7 RPG and 2.1 APG.

Penn State is 6-0 ATS in their last 6 road games and 21-6-1 ATS in their last 28 games overall while the under is 4-0 in their last 4 games following a win. Clemson is 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games following a win and 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games overall while the over is 12-5 in their last 17 games following an ATS loss.

I get the case to be made for either side here and this is a game that I feel is in must-watch territory as both will be looking to make a move in their respective conference this year. That being said, I feel like this is one of those games where it could go either way and the first to 65 wins this game. I’ll side with the under in this one.
