Clemson looks to split the regular season series with Miami and stretch its ACC winning streak to three games.

The Tigers (16-7, 6-6) lost at Miami (15-9, 6-7) to start the calendar year, 95-82. Clemson is coming off of a winning road trip, downing No. 3 UNC, 80-76, and then Syracuse, 77-68. The Hurricanes have lost three of the last four games, including a 60-38 loss at Virginia and a 75-72 home defeat to UNC the last two times out.

Tipoff in Littlejohn Coliseum is set for 7:05 p.m. on Wednesday. Dan Shulman and Jay Bilas will call the broadcast for ESPN2. Don Munson, Tim Bourret and Ben Milstead will broadcast the game on the Clemson Athletic Network.

Clemson is given a 78.4% win projection in ESPN's matchup predictor. The Tigers are rated 31st overall by KenPom (No. 19 offense/No. 71 defense), while Miami is 73rd (No. 61 offense/No. 101 defense).

• Clemson is 17-17 all-time against Miami, including 10-4 in games played in Clemson. Head Coach Brad Brownell is 8-11 against Miami.

• Seven of the last nine games in the series have been decided by five points or less.

• The only two that haven't been decided by five points or less are a 66-58 Clemson victory on Feb. 27, 2021 and Miami's 95-82 win this season.
