The Tigers had to overcome a 15-point deficit versus the Yellow Jackets, and were also down 15 against Virginia Tech before winning 86-82 on Jan. 29.

Trevor Booker leads the Tigers with 15.2 points, 9.2 rebounds, and 2.2 blocks a contest.

The Hokies' last meeting with the Tigers began a stretch of five losses in seven games, damaging their hopes for securing an at-large berth in the NCAA tournament. Virginia Tech has lost three straight, but played tough in a 67-65 loss to Florida State on Saturday night.

Virginia Tech will be trying to beat Clemson for the first time in five games, a stretch that's left the all-time series tied at 10.
