The oddsmakers set the bar high, but Clemson and Alabama didn't disappoint and broke past the 160 point over/under on Tuesday. The Tigers came out on top against the Crimson Tide by a score of 85-77.

Meanwhile, the point spread may have favored Pittsburgh last Tuesday, but the final result did not. They fell 71-64 to the Tigers. It was the first time this season that Pittsburgh let down their fans at home.

Clemson is hoping to beat the odds on Sunday, as the experts think they're headed for a loss. They might be worth a quick bet since they've covered the spread the last six times they've played Pittsburgh.

This contest is one where the number of possessions is likely to be a big factor: Clemson have been smashing the glass this season, having averaged 36.5 rebounds per game.
