The Cardinals are not in the same class as the Clemson Tigers. For long-time college basketball fans, that statement comes as a bit of a shock, but that's the new world we live in. The Clemson Tigers are putting it all together on both ends of the floor. The home crowd will be going nuts as they do. Clemson takes control and pulls away with relative ease. Take the Tigers and give the points.
