PJ Hall is playing well.

Brad Brownell is slowing NC State down. He's happy to let everything run through Burns. It means a slower pace and Smith/Joiner aren't shooting 3s.

Clemson will need to be a better job on those two though if it holds onto this halftime lead and advances in the ACC tournament.

Ian Schieffelin is picking up where he left off last game. When he's scoring and rebounding, Clemson is tough to beat.

Dillon Hunter made some really good defensive plays in the first half. Clemson's probably gonna need him down the stretch.

If Clemson continues to control the pace, it'll win. Expect NC State to come out and really push the ball up the court early in the second half.
