*3 Star NCAA BB Early Bird Special* Clemson has slowed the tempo down even more this year. Brad Brownell really likes his teams to play on the offensive end and play lockdown defense on the other end. Clemson is allowing just 53.6 points per game this year. UTEP is coached by Tim Floyd, who loves to slow the tempo down as well. The Miners have improved defensively as the year has moved along. I projected this game at 114 points. Look for a halfcourt battle with some poor shooting percentages. Take the under here.
