No. 16 Clemson puts its 6-game winning streak on the line against a visiting Memphis club coming off a bad loss
No. 16 Clemson (9-1) has won its last six games and returns to Littlejohn Coliseum in Clemson, South Carolina, on Saturday to host Memphis (7-2), which has lost two of its last three including a surprising loss at home on Sunday. Clemson entered this season off their first Elite Eight appearance since 1980 that capped off a 24-12 campaign. Memphis skipped the postseason last spring, declining an NIT bid after a 22-10 season didn’t earn it a spot in the NCAA tournament.
