What you need to know about Clemson
Everything went the Tigers' way against the Temple Owls on Thursday as they made off with a 75-48 victory. Guard Nick Honor was the offensive standout of the contest for Clemson, picking up 19 points. The Tigers shot 54.5 percent from the floor as a team in the win while limiting the Owls to just 35.8 percent shooting.
That sort of disparity in field-goal percentage has been a theme during Clemson's 4-0 start. The Tigers are shooting 51.7 percent from the floor as a team this season, while opponents are shooting just 37.7 percent. Brad Brownell's teams have always been defensively intense when they're at their best. But with four players averaging at least 12.0 points per game, Clemson has to feel like it has a shot to make some noise with a win on Friday.
What you need to know about St. Bonaventure
Meanwhile, even if it wasn't a dominant performance, St. Bonaventure beat the Boise State Broncos 67-61 on Thursday. Four players on St. Bonaventure scored in the double digits: guard Kyle Lofton (17), guard Jaren Holmes (14), guard Dominick Welch (12), and guard Jalen Adaway (10).
Mark Schmidt guided the Bonnies to the NCAA tournament for a third time last season and he's got an experienced club in his 15th season at the helm of the program. Lofton, Holmes, Welch and Adaway are all seniors with at least three years of experience in the program and they should all be champing at the bit for an opportunity to pick up a couple of resume-building wins to close out the Charleston Classic.
