Notre Dame men's basketball will face a tall task Wednesday night.
The Irish (12-15, 6-10 ACC) are scheduled to play at No. 13 Clemson (22-5, 14-2 ACC) in their first game against an actively ranked opponent since a 86-78 loss at then-No. 4 Duke on Jan. 11. Notre Dame did win three of its next four games after the loss to Duke, but it's lost five of its last seven games against unranked opponents in February.
The Tigers are one of the best 3-point shooting teams in the country. Clemson ranks No. 11 in Division in 3-point percentage at 38.8. Notre Dame ranks No. 68 at 36.2%. Clemson has outscored opponents by an average of 11.0 points per game this season.
Clemson is led by 6-foot-4 guard Chase Hunter, who is shooting 42.7% from 3 while scoring 17.0 points per game. Ian Schieffelin, a 6-8 forward, is averaging 12.4 points and 9.4 rebounds per game.
