Clemson is 1-5 ATS in their last six home games and 1-4 ATS in the last five after a straight-up win. The Tigers are 1-5 ATS in their last six overall. 

Meanwhile, the Terriers are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 as a road underdog and the under is 4-1 in their last five overall. The under is 37-17 in Wofford’s last 54 road games. 

PICK: I’m going to go with Wofford here. The Terriers didn’t have any problems drilling Bob Jones, shooting 65.8 percent from the field and collecting 37 rebounds along the way. Wofford posted a scorching 64 percent from 3-point range as well. It was an expected win, but Wofford deserves credit for going out on the court and executing. 

As for Clemson, I’m not thrilled about them after their tepid first half against Presbyterian. The Tigers probably should have been in better control during that game, but at least they fixed their issues in the second half. This should be an interesting matchup, and I like Wofford well enough to try them on a cover.
